President Donald Trump, which took place on August 15.
According to Lukashenko, during this conversation he expressed his concerns about the country’s challenging political and economic situation, which has led to international isolation and internal difficulties.

The American president agreed that the country is under very hard conditions and acknowledged that the Belarusian people and authorities are doing everything possible to stabilize the situation.However, recent developments indicate that Moscow and Washington have yet to find mutual understanding regarding Belarus’ future governance.
