Prague, Feb 28 (CTK) – The finance and interior ministers, Andrej Babis (ANO) and Milan Chovanec (Social Democrats, CSSD) will accompany Czech President Milos Zeman during his April visit to the USA where he will meet his counterpart Donald Trump, Zeman’s spokesman Jiri Ovcacek told reporters yesterday.
Zeman has met both ministers’ request for being part of his delegation, Ovcacek added.
Zeman will fly to the United States in the second half of April. He will visit the White House to have talks with Trump.
The new U.S. president invited Zeman to the United States in December.
Zeman says he and Trump have similar views and that he was one of the few supreme politicians to openly support Trump during his election campaign, which contributed to the invitation to the White House.
Zeman agrees with Trump’s demand that immigration from Islamic countries be restricted.
Zeman welcomed Trump’s controversial decree that banned entry to the USA to the people from seven Muslim countries. Both presidents are also critical of the media.
Ovcacek also said Zeman would yesterday send a congratulation to Babis on his re-election as ANO chairman at the weekend congress.
