Allies of Hungary’s far-right prime minister Viktor Orbán will hold a closed-door meeting with Republicans in Washington to push for an end to US military support for Ukraine, the Guardian has learned.

Members of the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs and staff from the Hungarian embassy in Washington will on Monday begin a two-day event hosted by the conservative Heritage Foundation thinktank.

The first day includes panel speeches about the Ukraine war as well as topics such as Transatlantic Culture Wars. It is expected to feature guests including Magor Ernyei, the international director of the Centre for Fundamental Rights, the institute that organized CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) Hungary. Kelley Currie, a former ambassador under then president Donald Trump, said she was invited “but declined”.

    Who would have ever imagined the US appearing as a pro-Russian country by the Republicans? It truly is jaw dropping.

      That’s what tribalism gets us.

      Republicans don’t even need a reason to oppose something if the democrats support it.

          Everyone should be independent.

          Voting for a party should be seen as a bad thing, due to history.

            I would go a step farther and say remove the letter next to people’s names all the way down to the local election. Want to vote? Well now you need to do enough research to figure out what the people believe in.

              What a ridiculous nothing. Removing a piece of information doesn’t make anyone more informed.

            ???

            In the US, “independents” are a type of embarrassed Republicans.

            If you just mean that electoralism is bad, start with that.

              The tribalism is strong with you.

      Ronald Regan is turning over in his grave so fast that you could power a small city. That is if Republicans cared at all about renewables… which they don’t.
