This was reported on October 16 by The Telegraph newspaper.
"Donald Trump's statement about a meeting with Vladimir Putin in Budapest to discuss the situation on Ukraine will be a painful blow to Europe," the publication says.
The newspaper emphasizes that the summit will strengthen Orban's authority, which will lead to difficulties for the European Union.
Earlier in the day, Trump announced a meeting with Putin in Hungary. The telephone conversation between the leaders took place at the initiative of the Russian leader, who began the conversation by congratulating Trump on his success in normalizing the situation in the Gaza Strip.
