WASHINGTON, United States,
US President Donald Trump congratulated Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis on Tuesday for taking office, saying he expects “incredible things” from the fellow billionaire, including a potential fighter jet deal.
Babis’s government was sworn in on Monday after forming an alliance with two euroskeptic right-wing parties.
“It is great to see Andrej Babis appointed again as Prime Minister of the Czech Republic,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“Together, we will once again achieve great success on defence, energy, and illegal immigration—just as we have done during our first terms in office.”
Trump and Babis both previously led their NATO-member countries from 2017 to 2021.
“Andrej knows how to get deals done, and I expected incredible things from him, including on F-35s,” Trump said, referring to the US-made stealth fighter jet.
