New German leader Friedrich Merz will meet Trump at White House next week
Agency: PTI Last Updated: Representational image (Image: News18) Berlin, May 31 (AP) German Chancellor Friedrich Merz will travel to Washington next week to meet US President Donald Trump, with the war in Ukraine and trade tensions among the items on the agenda, the German government said Saturday. Merz's office said the new German leader, who took the helm of Europe's biggest economy on May 6, will meet Trump at the White House on Thursday — the first in-person meeting between the two. It said that the meeting will address bilateral relations and international issues such as Russia's war in Ukraine, the situation in the Middle East and trade policy. Merz has plunged into diplomatic efforts to try to secure a ceasefire and keep Western support for Ukraine intact since becoming Germany's leader. On Wednesday, he hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Berlin. Germany has a strong interest in defusing trade tensions between the European Union and the United States. Trump threatened to impose a 50 per cent tariff on goods imported from the 27-nation bloc starting Sunday, but then pushed back the deadline to July 9. (AP) GSP

The GTDC's board agreed to renew the corporate tie-up. The GTDC had executed a MoU with Delta Corp Ltd for the period from April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2025.

The GTDC offered to replace the curtains in 45 rooms at the Panaji Residency at a cost of Rs 22 lakh. Delta Corp operates four offshore casinos in the Mandovi under the Deltin brand. The GTDC's Panaji Residency is a stone's throw from the Captain of Ports jetty, where the casinos have offices.
