In May 2019, President Donald Trump met with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at the White House. This was Orban’s first invitation to the White House in more than 20 years. Many see Orban as a controversial figure due to his autocratic style of leadership and undemocratic reforms.
During their meeting, Trump praised Orban for doing a “tremendous job” and said that Orban was “a little bit controversial, but that’s okay… you’ve done a good job and you’ve kept your country safe.” The two reportedly discussed NATO, energy security, and cyber threats.
However, the meeting was criticized by some politicians and experts who argue that it sent a wrong signal about the US’s stance on authoritarianism. They pointed out Orban’s curbing of independent media, subversion of judicial independence, and alleged corruption within his government as reasons for concern.
