(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, MAY 13 - Donald Trump receives today the 'populist' anti-immigrant leader Viktor Orban, the first Hungarian prime minister to visit the White House since 2005, as well as a great admirer and supporter of the US tycoon. A joint final press conference is not scheduled at the moment. The visit, which gives a big endorsement to Orban less than two weeks ahead of the European elections in which populist and Eurosceptic forces aspire to win, has aroused protests in the US. The defenders of human rights protested - accusing the Hungarian prime minister of trampling on these rights - along with the Democrats, who in a letter had asked the president not to welcome Orban unless ''he brings his country back on the road to democracy''. Even some Republican senators urged Trump to raise the ''erosion'' of democracy in his country during his meeting with the Hungarian leader. But the White House merely reported that the president and prime minister ''will discuss ways to deepen cooperation on many different issues, including trade, energy, cybersecurity'' and Nato. (ANSA).
