U.S. President Donald Trump will attend a Group of 20 summit in Hamburg, Germany, on July 7 and 8, the White House on Tuesday said after Trump spoke by phone with German Chancellor, Angela Merkel.
A statement said that Trump spoke to Merkel to congratulate her on the outcome of a closely watched German election in the western state of Saarland, which Merkel’s conservatives won in a boost to her prospects of winning a fourth term in September’s national election.
“The two leaders also used the occasion to reflect on the chancellor’s March 17 visit to the White House.
