Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico will meet with US President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Saturday. The meeting is aimed at strengthening the ties between Slovakia, a member of the European Union, and the United States.
Slovakia has been critical of the EU, and this meeting represents an opportunity for Fico to establish a closer relationship with the Trump administration. The two leaders are expected to discuss a range of issues, including trade, security, and regional affairs.
The meeting comes at a time when the relationship between the US and the EU has been strained, with the Trump administration taking a more skeptical stance towards the bloc. Fico's visit to the US is seen as an attempt to position Slovakia as a strategic partner for the US in the region.
