Trump officials back Orbán bid for UN secretary-general, WSJ reports

The Trump administration is reportedly considering Viktor Orbán for UN secretary-general, potentially with support from the US, Russia, and China. Orbán, who lost power in Hungary, has maintained ties with Trump and other leaders despite controversies surrounding his governance. Investigations into his former government are ongoing, and while the idea of his nomination has been discussed, no official decision has been made. The current UN secretary-general's term ends on December 31, and Orbán would only pursue the role if he believed he could win, which currently seems uncertain due to the need for broad support in the Security Council.
