LONDON \u2014 The controversial leader of Hungary who erected a fence along his country’s border to keep migrants out says Donald Trump has invited him to visit Washington.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Viktor Orban<\/a>\u00a0said in an interview published online by business daily Vilaggazdasag that Trump made it clear to him that “he thinks highly of Hungary.”<\/p>\n

Orban, who tried but failed to win a referendum to ban Hungary taking a EU quota of refugees<\/a> in October, said in July that Trump’s migration policies were better for Europe and Hungary.<\/p>\n

The right-wing leader has strong anti-Islamic views<\/a>. Last year, he had fences built on Hungary’s southern borders to stop the flow of migrants trying to reach Western Europe.<\/p>\n

Orban was quoted as saying he felt that Hungary’s position had “improved greatly” with Trump bound for the White House.<\/p>\n

Orban said: “He invited me to Washington, I told him that I hadn’t been there for a long time as I had been treated as a ‘black sheep’, to which he replied, laughing: ‘Me too’.”<\/p>\n
