WASHINGTON The White House has announced what is expected to be President Donald Trumps first foreign trip.
Press Secretary Sean Spicer says the president will travel to Brussels, Belgium, on May 25 for a meeting with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization heads of state.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced the meeting earlier Tuesday.
Spicer says the president is looking forward to meeting with his NATO counterparts to reaffirm our strong commitment to NATO, and to discuss issues critical to the alliance, especially allied responsibility-sharing and NATOs role in the fight against terrorism.

US President Donald Trump will travel to Brussels in May to attend a meeting of Nato, his first scheduled trip overseas that comes as European leaders remain anxious about whether the US will continue its level of support for the 28-nation alliance.
The White House in a statement announcing the May 25 trip also said that Nato Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg will visit Washington on April 12. In a call last month with Stoltenberg, Trump agreed to join in a meeting of Nato leaders. He is also planning to attend the G-7 Summit during the same month in Italy.
During the election campaign, Trump criticised Nato and Brussels, equating it to like living in a hellhole right now.
