US President Donald Trump and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico met in Florida on Saturday to boost bilateral ties, including cooperation on a €15 billion ($17.4 billion) nuclear project.

The talks, held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, underscored Bratislava’s effort to strengthen relations with Washington while pursuing policies that often diverge from the European Union mainstream.
