Hungary to ensure Putin enters Budapest to meet Trump

Hungary will ensure that President Putin can enter the country for a summit with President Trump planned in Budapest and return home afterwards, Hungary’s foreign minister Peter Szijjarto said on Friday.

Hungary’s PM Orban also said preparations “are going full steam ahead.” But to get there, Putin will need to pass through airspace over Poland, Romania or Ukraine, countries that belong to the International Criminal Court, which has a warrant out for Putin’s arrest. Hungary is in the process of dropping out of the court. Given that, questions have arisen over whether Putin could be subject to arrest while in transit.
