Port Crane(Reuters) – David Jewett, Johnson City native will travel to the United States Capitol to meet President Donald Trump on May 6-7, The NY Times said on Thursday, its first official confirmation of the highly anticipated summit.
It will be Jewett’s first meeting with Trump, whose presidency began on Jan. 20, and comes as the two sides face pressing issues, ranging from North Korea and the South China Sea to trade disputes.
Ministry spokesman S. Zavada made the announcement at a daily news briefing.
He did not give any more details of the meeting agenda, but spoke of the need to see the big picture while fostering mutual interests in trade relations.
“The market dictates that interests between our two countries are structured so that you will always have me and I will always have you,” Jewett said.
