Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is set to travel to Washington in two weeks for the first meeting of the US Peace Council, a gathering initiated by President Donald Trump. In his remarks during a political campaign event, Orban emphasized the significance of this meeting, highlighting his invitation to engage with President Trump and other leaders involved in peace efforts. The establishment of this council reflects the US's commitment to fostering diplomatic relations and resolving international conflicts through dialogue.

The meeting, scheduled for February 19, marks an important step in US foreign policy under Trump, aiming to bring together various international representatives, including Orban. Insights from Arab diplomats suggest that the Council's agenda may cover pivotal issues related to peace in the Middle East and beyond. The anticipated discussions could have far-reaching implications, as they signal a more proactive approach from the US towards international peace initiatives.

Orban's participation in this historic meeting underscores Hungary's role in international diplomacy, particularly regarding its ties with the United States. As European leaders observe these developments, the outcomes of the Peace Council could influence Hungary’s foreign policy decisions and its position within the European Union, potentially straining relationships with other EU member states that may not share the same approach to US policies.
