President Trump is set to go to Brussels later this year to attend a NATO summit, the White House announced Tuesday.

The meeting is scheduled for May 25.

"The President looks 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 NATO’s role in the fight against terrorism," a statement from the White House press secretary said.

The president will also host NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg at the White House on April 12.

During that meeting, the two will discuss "how to strengthen the alliance to cope with challenges to national and international security."

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will not attend the April 5-6 meeting of NATO foreign ministers.

He will instead stay in the U.S. during a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping and will travel to Russia the following week, Reuters reported. The news outlet later reported that the State Department had proposed different dates.
