The new US President Joe Biden will receive Chancellor Angela Merkel (USA) in the White House on July 15.
The US government announced this on the President's website.
The meeting in Washington will be about coping with the corona pandemic, climate change, economic development and international security.
“We can confirm that the Chancellor will make a working visit to Washington on July 15th at the invitation of US President Biden.
Details of the program will be announced at a later date, "a government spokesman told SPIEGEL.
It won't be their first face-to-face meeting - and not even the first since Biden was elected president.
Merkel and Biden will meet at the G7 meeting in Cornwall, UK, during the day.
