(ANSA-AP) - BRATISLAVA, 24 APR - Slovakia's prime minister
says he has been invited by U.S. President Donald Trump to meet
him next month in Washington.
Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini says he will meet Trump in
the White House on May 3. The visit coincides with the 30th
anniversary of the 1989 "Velvet Revolution" in former
Czechoslovakia and the 15th anniversary of Slovakia's membership
in NATO.
Pellegrini says the economic and defense cooperation between
the two countries and defense spending will be on the agenda on
their talks. Slovakia recently signed a deal to buy 14 F-16
military jets from Lockheed Martin as it seeks to replace
Soviet-era jets. Pellegrini said on Wednesday he would also like
to discuss Trump's threat to impose tariffs on cars and car
parts imported from Europe. (ANSA-AP).
