The Trump administration has reportedly touted Hungary's populist leader Viktor Orbán as a candidate to succeed António Guterres as the next secretary general of the United Nations. While Russia and China are believed to be supportive of such a move, critics argue that his authoritarian background and stance against liberal institutions make him a deeply controversial choice who might act as an apologist for dictators. At the same time, some UN watchers suspect that floating Orbán's name could be a stalking horse tactic to pave the way for another contender, British-educated Emirati diplomat Lana Nusseibeh, towards whom momentum has reportedly shifted. Guterres' second five-year term ends on December 31, with several candidates officially running while the Security Council weighs its options for the future of international diplomacy.
