Lukashenko, however, made a reservation so that he “would not be suspected of something bad, as if we want to annex America”: Minsk will become the capital of the United States only for the duration of the match, since according to the rules of the competition, America will have to host it in 2021. He also expressed confidence that Trump will win the next presidential election.

Lukashenko, in turn, during the meeting announced that Minsk would like to start relations with Washington from scratch. Recently, the Belarusian leadership is increasingly talking about the need to establish relations with the United States.

He added that the development of bilateral relations is in the interests of both countries.
