BRUSSELS, May 24 (KUNA) -- US President Donald Trump accompanied by First Lady Melania arrived in Belgium Wednesday afternoon for talks with Belgian and EU leaders and to attend a NATO summit.
He was received at the airport by Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel and then driven to the Royal Palace to meet King Philippe.
Belgian media noted that Trump's visit is not an official state visit to Belgium, but rather a NATO visit in the first place.
Tomorrow Trump will be making his first visit to the EU and NATO.
Meanwhile, hundreds of people took part in a demonstration against Trump and NATO at the North Station in the Belgian capital.
Belgian media said that it remains a secret where Trump will spend the night. Ex-US President Barack Obama stayed in the Hotel (the former Hilton hotel) in the centre, but Trump is expected to sleep at another, secret location.
Trump will meet the presidents of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker, of the European Council Donald Tusk and European Parliament Antonio Tajani, and EU High Representative Federica Mogherini tomorrow morning before the NATO summit. (end) nk.mt
