US President Donald Trump spoke with Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko -- a close ally of Vladimir Putin -- by telephone on Friday, hours ahead of the US and Russian leaders' summit in Alaska.
"We discussed many topics, including President Putin's visit to Alaska," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform, which was sent while he was en route to the talks aboard Air Force One.
According to Belarus state news agency BELTA, "Lukashenko invited Trump and his family to visit Belarus, and he agreed."
The leaders also discussed bilateral relations and the war in Ukraine, BELTA added.
