WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz in the White House on Feb. 20, the White House said Tuesday in a statement.
Trump and Kurz, Europe's youngest head of government look forward to revitalizing the bilateral relationship, and exploring new avenues for transatlantic cooperation, according to the statement.
The statement also said that Washington and Vienna look to address both global conflicts and those in the European neighborhood, promote economic prosperity, and strengthen energy security.
Despite robust economic relations between the two countries, the central European country did not share U.S. recent unilateral diplomatic moves, such as U.S. withdrawal from Iran Nuclear Deal last May and the suspension of its compliance of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty early this month.
Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl said last Friday that the U.S. decision to withdraw from the INF Treaty was regrettable, urging Washington and Moscow to work harder to preserve the treaty.
