Donald Trump wants Viktor Orbán to lead the UN. Russia and China are "for" it.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the U.S. is considering Viktor Orbán as a joint candidate for UN Secretary-General, supported by Russia and China. Orbán has shown openness to the proposal but remains cautious about announcing his candidacy. U.S. officials believe he could secure enough votes in the Security Council, despite concerns about his alignment with authoritarian leaders. The announcement of candidates is expected after the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. Currently, other candidates include Lana Nusseibeh, but Orbán's leadership style is seen as distinct from typical bureaucratic candidates.
