WASHINGTON, May 7 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump will discuss bilateral relations with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban next week in Washington, the White House said in a statement on Tuesday.
Trump will welcome Orban at the White House on May 13, and the two leaders will discuss ways to deepen cooperation on a range of issues, including trade and energy, the statement said.
The two leaders would also "explore opportunities to meet the national security responsibilities of the two countries and celebrate Hungary's 20th anniversary as a NATO member," according to the statement.
The United States and Hungary recently have been increasing high-level interactions. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo paid a visit to Budapest in February, when he vowed to renew U.S. engagement with Hungary and strengthen its relations with the countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The two countries also signed a defense cooperation agreement in early April.
