The Wall Street Journal reported that the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump encouraged former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to consider running for the position of UN Secretary-General, amid reports that both Russia and China are open to the idea. Officials from the three countries confirmed to the newspaper that Washington had floated the possibility of Orbán’s candidacy, a move that could make him a joint candidate backed by the three powers. According to an estimate by a U.S. State Department official, eight of the 15 members of the Security Council would “easily” support Orbán, potentially reaching 10 votes.
