Trump and Orbán's recent meeting at Mar-a-Lago has stirred both praise and controversy in the political world. The former US President, Donald Trump, openly commended Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, stating that he is a 'fantastic' leader. This alliance between the two right-wing figures has raised concerns given Orbán's autocratic tendencies.

Orbán's support for Trump's return to the White House adds an intriguing layer to their relationship. The Hungarian leader's endorsement of Trump, a fellow conservative populist, has further solidified their bond. However, this backing has faced scrutiny, with critics pointing out Orbán's authoritarian methods.

In contrast, President Joe Biden has condemned the meeting between Trump and Orbán, highlighting the concerns over Orbán's push for an 'illiberal democracy.' Biden's critique adds a different perspective to the discussion, emphasizing the potential risks associated with aligning with leaders like Orbán.

Despite the mixed reactions, the meeting at Mar-a-Lago has underscored the complex dynamics between global political figures. As Trump continues to engage with Orbán, the implications of their relationship on international affairs remain a topic of interest and debate.
