According to Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto, the meeting between Prime Minister Viktor Orban and U.S. President Donald Trump featured gestures far warmer and more personal than what is customary in diplomacy —each carrying significant meaning. One such move, he noted, was that President Trump had Prime Minister Orban seated beside him. FM Szijjarto shared a little story about that moment.
