Orban is not perfect—not many politicians are, in any part of the world. We keep hearing reports that, for example, he uses corrupt and crony practices with businesses not only to distort the economy, but to expand influence and retain power.

However, the best way for the Trump administration to cultivate Orban’s potential and mitigate his downsides is by finally jettisoning the Obama-era policy of keeping him at arm’s length diplomatically.

This policy was championed by President Barack Obama’s last assistant secretary of state for Europe, Victoria Nuland.

Under Trump’s first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, U.S. diplomacy began to move away from this aspect of Nulandism. We hope that current CIA Director Mike Pompeo, nominated by President Donald Trump to replace Tillerson, and the new national security adviser, John Bolton, will accelerate the process while retaining Nuland’s more forthright and no-nonsense approach to the Kremlin.

Only allies can speak as friends, and only friends can advise Orban, for example, not to interfere with the already-beleaguered government of Ukraine, as it did last year when Ukraine passed a language law that Budapest opposed.

Ditto for Orban’s “Stop Soros” bill. On Monday, fresh from its landslide victory, the newly elected government said it now had a mandate to pass it. The bill would require nongovernment organizations that work on migration issues to register with the government, and would empower the government to ban NGOs that pose a “national security risk.”

The Orban government is hardly alone in trying to stop Soros from destabilizing his society.

Soros uses his Open Society Foundations and his billions to undermine governments and societies around the world, in an attempt to weaken conservative values regarding the family, the church, and the nation-state. Just a few months ago, Ireland declared illegal Soros’ donation of 137,000 euros to the pro-abortion side in that country’s current, hard-fought referendum to legalize the practice.

So we wish Orban well in shoring up Hungary’s government institutions and civil society.

But a U.S. government that Orban perceives as a friend can also quietly counsel the prime minister against any attempt to
hoardings putting across the slogans and arguments of both leftover and proper opposition parties. 

 Orban is not arrant — not many politicians are, in any share of the world. We retain hearing reports that, for model, he uses corrupt and crony practice with businesses not only to contort the economy, but to expand influence and retain power. 

 However, the best way for the Trump administration to cultivate Orban ’s electric potential and mitigate his downsides is by finally jettison the Obama - era policy of keeping him at weapon ’s length diplomatically.

 Under Trump ’s first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, U.S. diplomacy began to go away from this aspect of Nulandism.

 Only allies can speak as friends, and lone friends can advise Orban, for exercise, not to intervene with the already - beleaguered politics of Ukraine, as it did last year when Ukraine passed a language law that Budapest opposed. 

 Ditto for Orban ’s “ Stop Soros ” beak. On Monday, fresh from its landslide victory, the newly elected government said it now had a mandate to die it. The bill would require nongovernment organizations that work on migration exit to file with the government, and would empower the government to ban NGOs that pose a “ home security risk. ” 

 The Orban government is hardly alone in trying to stop Soros from destabilizing his society.
