Plans for Trump-Putin meeting shelved days after Budapest talks proposed
Plans for a potential meeting between former U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have been reportedly shelved mere days after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban proposed to host the leaders in Budapest. The proposed meeting was aimed at potentially mending strained relations between the two nations following a series of diplomatic tensions.
Orban, known for his close ties with both Trump and Putin, suggested Budapest as a neutral ground for the meeting. However, the plans have been put on hold without a clear explanation. Orban’s office stated, “The Hungarian government proposed holding a summit in Budapest in early 2023. The intention was to hold talks regarding the security and stability of the European continent, but the parties involved have decided to shelve the idea for the time being.”
While Orban’s motives for proposing the meeting remain unclear, some speculate that he aimed to boost Hungary’s international image by hosting such a high-profile event. Trump and Putin have not officially commented on the shelving of the meeting plans.
The sudden change in the plans for the potential Trump-Putin meeting comes amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and Russia, including disagreements over Ukraine, cybersecurity issues, and allegations of Russian interference in U.S. elections.
Both the U.S. and Russian governments have not provided further details or reasons for the postponement, leaving the future of any such meeting uncertain.
