European leaders meet in Budapest for political summit

European leaders are meeting in Budapest for the European Political Community summit, which includes 47 countries, 27 of which are EU members. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is attending amid concerns over U.S. support for Ukraine following Donald Trump's election victory. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has criticized aid to Ukraine and sanctions on Russia, is hosting the summit. His relationship with Zelensky has been tense, with Orbán previously labeling Zelensky an "opponent." The summit is also affected by the recent collapse of Germany's coalition government. Chancellor Olaf Scholz is set to hold a confidence vote in January, which may lead to new elections by March.
