EU ELITES FUMING: TRUMP–PUTIN TO MEET IN BUDAPEST IN HISTORIC SUMMIT Putin’s first EU visit since the Ukraine war won’t be to Brussels, Berlin, or Paris, it’ll be to*Budapest. And the host? Viktor Orbán, the man EU elites love to hate. For years, Brussels has smeared Orbán as “pro-Russian,” “racist,” “anti-democratic,” and “unfit” to lead in Europe. They froze his funds. Attacked his policies. Tried to isolate him. Now, the most consequential diplomatic summit in years is happening on his turf. Trump and Putin are expected to meet face-to-face in Hungary, a geopolitical event that would’ve been unthinkable in any other EU capital. Orbán called it “great news for the peace-loving people of the world.” For the EU establishment, this is a nightmare. They tried to sideline him. Now the world is watching him.
