Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is due to meet former - and perhaps future - President Trump in Florida next week, a major step for American conservatives in sealing a relationship with the controversial leader. In advance of that meeting, UnHerd's Freddie Sayers was joined in the studio by Gladden Pappin to discuss why the American Right seem so enamoured with Orban's political philosophy. Pappin was at the forefront of the US 'post-liberal' movement and is now advisor to Viktor Orban via the government funded Institute of International Affairs in Hungary.
