President Trump on Monday is set to meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at the White House, and his advisers are reportedly warning him against a full-throated embrace of the far-right leader.

This will be Orban's first formal White House meeting with a U.S. president since 1998, reports NPR, and Politico notes it's the first White House visit by a Hungarian prime minister since 2005. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo previously met with Orban in February.
