Times: Trump’s team only mentioned Orbán’s name to improve their real candidate’s chances for the UN Secretary-General position

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump may support Hungary's former Prime Minister Orbán as a candidate for UN Secretary-General, sparking speculation. However, neither the US government nor Orbán has commented on this. The Times suggests that Orbán might be a decoy for a more pragmatic candidate, Lana Nusseibeh, who has received praise from influential figures linked to the Trump administration. The UK is also inclined to support Nusseibeh, who represents the UAE, a key ally of the US and UK. Despite Nusseibeh's strong candidacy, Orbán's chances appear low, especially after France indicated it would not support him. The next vote is expected soon, with Nusseibeh's name included.
