hello — i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london.rime minister victor orban is on his way to the white house — he's not the easiest diplomatic guest. just before his arrival, republican and democratic senators joined together in a rare moment of unity to express concern about the erosion of democracy in hungary under mr orban's leadership. he has shifted from being a proponent of liberalism to a champion of the authoritarian right — cracking down on civil liberties at home, cosying up with president putin abroad. which is why today's visit to the white house is so controversial. steve bannon once called victor orban, trump before trump. and many will view this as a meeting of minds, like a victory lap for the forces of nationalism. in nine years, victor orban has bent hungary to his will. he has rewritten parts of the national constitution, dismantled the judiciary, reined in the free press and gerrymandered the electoral system to favour his party. and last year, he won the third straight term and power on the straight term in power
