The West noted the EU's desire to dissuade Trump from meeting with Putin

The countries of the European Union (EU) will beg the American leader Donald Trump not to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin halfway in Budapest. This was announced on October 19 by Cypriot journalist Alex Christoforou.

"As expected, European leaders will be calling Trump around the clock over the next two weeks," he wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

According to him, in the near future, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will fly to the United States to meet with the head of the White House. The journalist noted that Europeans and neoconservatives will try to create a negative image of Putin and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

The American president announced a meeting with Putin in Hungary on October 16. He also called the phone conversation with the Russian president productive. Shortly after, Trump said he hoped to hold the summit within two weeks.

Later, on October 18, Orban said that Budapest had become the venue for a future meeting of the Russian and American leaders, since Hungary is the only one in Europe that follows the path of peace. According to him, Hungary is a country where there is a real possibility that the negotiations of the heads of state can lead to peace.
