Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban met with former US President Donald Trump in Florida to discuss “ways to make peace.” The meeting took place shortly after a NATO summit in Washington.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban traveled to the US state of Florida on Thursday, where he met with former President Donald Trump following a NATO summit in Washington.
The meeting is part of Orban’s self-proclaimed “peace mission” to end Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It is likely to add to frustration among Western allies over similar secret trips he has made to Russia and China in the past few days.
Orban met with Trump at the former president’s beachside Mar-a-Lago estate and the Hungarian leader shared a photo of the two on X, formerly Twitter, with the caption: “We discussed ways to make peace. The good news of the day: he’s going to solve it!”
Oh look, Trump blatantly committed another felony.
Later: “US Supreme Court Rules Official Acts of Former Presidents Immune From Prosecution.”
Former presidents determined to be freelance diplomats, says supreme court.
Is there wiggle wording here? For example, would the Supreme Court be like “welllllll the dispute isn’t with the US”
Does the exact wording specify they have to meet about the dispute, or can it be meeting while there is any dispute (potentially deliberately vague for this purpose)? Not that it matters, courts won’t do shit about trump unless it’s blatantly cut and dry, and even then it’ll drag out pointlessly long.
Not a lawyer or American but here’s the text of the law. I’m guessing it depends on how you define dispute, controversy and whether is “with” the US, or whether this constitutes “defeating the measures of.”
Playing devil’s advocate I could see an argument of he’s just looking for alternative solutions in America’s best interest.

Did they discuss how both of their speeches would sound so much better in the original German?
