Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said today that former US President Donald Trump and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico have come under attack because of their "anti-war views,", Reuters reported.
Fizzo was shot four times in an assassination attempt in mid-May, and Trump, the Republican presidential nominee in November, survived an assassination attempt on July 13.
Both are allies of right-wing nationalist Orbán, who has been in power since 2010.
"All these attacks are against anti-war, pacifist politicians,", Orban said in an interview with the state radio "Koshut".
"Warlike forces are so provoked, strained, incited and organized that they are trying to remove the pacifist forces from the stage, from the very center of political life," said the Hungarian Prime Minister.
Orbán, who undertook an independent "peace mission" on Ukraine earlier this month, which included a meeting with Trump, indicated that the former president survived the attack on him because "God has plans for him." to promote peace.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó said Hungary sees a possible second term for Trump as a "chance for peace" in Ukraine.
Orban said he spoke with Trump for two hours during their meeting in Florida on July 11. Today's interview is the first time Orbán has revealed details of the conversation.
The Hungarian prime minister said he and Trump discussed a number of topics, including the economy, and that his team was helping Trump aides formulate policies.
"We have a very good relationship with those who work for the president and write his economic and foreign policy program," Orbán said.
"I would say that we are involved in the process of formulating his election program, and there are several topics, such as family policy and stopping migration, on which we have great similarities in views," Orbán added.
