Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington, DC, got underway on Monday afternoon local time.

Trump greeted Orbán at one of the entrances of the White House before the two leaders went inside for their talks, according to images broadcast on Hungarian public news channel M1 and CNN.

 

The White House said in a statement last week that the meeting would coincide with Hungary’s 20th anniversary as a NATO member. It said the two leaders would discuss ways to deepen cooperation on a range of issues, including trade, energy and cyber security, it added.
