BUDAPEST (Reuters) -Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said late on Wednesday that he expects to meet U.S. President Donald Trump soon to discuss an economic agreement between the two countries.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit Hungary in the very near future, where he will meet United States counterpart Donald Trump for a second summit on ending the war in Ukraine. The first – in Alaska in August – failed to result in any agreement.

Although the president didn't rule out giving Ukraine long-range missiles, he expressed optimism that it wouldn't be necessary, suggesting that Russia's leader is serious about peace.
