Slovakia’s Fico to Meet Trump in Bid to Strengthen US Ties

The $15 billion project aims to diversify Slovakia's energy by adding a 1,200 MW US-built reactor at Jaslovske Bohunice, reducing reliance on Russian nuclear technology.

  • On Saturday, Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico will meet US President Donald Trump at 3:30 pm local at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence to sign a deal toward building a new nuclear reactor.
  • On Friday, Fico will meet US Energy Secretary Chris Wright in Washington and attend a ceremony to sign an agreement on cooperation in civil nuclear energy, the Slovak government said.
  • The project timeline envisions the new unit at Jaslovske Bohunice operational by 2040 with 1,200 megawatts capacity, and Fico said a Westinghouse contract could be signed in 2027.
