October 14, 2024 Orbán threatens to mess with Ukraine aid to help Trump
Hungary’s latest attempt to disrupt Ukraine aid isn’t about money — it would penalize the EU. It’s about making friends with Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is reportedly advising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which would be a violation of the Logan Act.
Questions have been raised as to whether Donald Trump committed a crime by hosting a meeting with a foreign leader at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán met with Trump on Thursday for what he described as a "peace mission" amid Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The meeting led to suggestions that the former president may have violated the Logan Act, legislation that makes it illegal for American citizens to negotiate with foreign governments in dispute with the United States without prior approval.

Who is Viktor Orban?
Viktor Orbán threatens trans-Atlantic security, necessitating a strategic U.S. response to counter the rise of authoritarianism in Europe and protect our shared democratic values.
In 2010, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán came to power. Since then, he and his party, Fidesz, have systematically dismantled the country’s legal system and changed the election system to ensure future election victories. It is becoming harder and harder to criticize the government’s actions due to increasing restrictions by the government on the freedoms for media and civil society. It is not surprising that Fidesz won two-thirds of the seats in parliament 2014 and 2018, despite receiving less than 50 per cent of the votes in the 2014 and 2018 parliamentary elections.
