Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said today that former U.S. President Donald Trump and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico were attacked for their “anti-war views,” Reuters reported.
Fico was shot four times in an assassination attempt in mid-May, while Trump, the Republican presidential candidate in the November election, survived an assassination attempt on July 13, BTA reported.
Both are allies of Viktor Orban, a right-wing nationalist who has been in power since 2010.
“All these attacks are directed against anti-war pacifist politicians. The warlike forces are so provoked, tensed, incited and organised that they are trying to remove the pacifist forces from the stage, from the centre of political life,” the minister told state-run Radio Kossuth.
Orban, who travelled to Ukraine alone on a “peace mission” earlier this month that included a meeting with Trump, said the former president survived the attack on him because “God had a plan for him to promote peace”.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said Hungary sees Trump’s possible re-election as “an opportunity for peace” in Ukraine.
In today’s interview, Orban shared for the first time his conversation with Trump during their July 11 meeting in Florida.
Hungary’s prime minister said he and Trump discussed many topics, including the economy. “We have very good relations with those who work for the president and develop his economic and foreign policy programs,” Orban said.
“I would like to say that we participated in the process of developing his election program and on several topics, such as family policy and stopping immigration, our views are very similar,” Orban added.
