In 2021, the match between Europe and the United States should be held in the United States in accordance with the queue. However, Lukashenko noted that in 2021 the world championship in athletics will be held in the United States, and it will be impossible to combine these competitions according to the rules.
“In two years, if you instruct us, we will hold a similar match at a higher level. I promise you that in two years Minsk will become the capital of the United States of America, ”Lukashenka addressed the heads of athletics federations.
The President of Belarus explained his words.
“I’m clarifying that we should not be suspected of being bad, as if we want to join America. These days, if you trust us, Minsk will become the capital of the United States, because the United States should hold this match, ”Interfax quoted him as saying.
Lukashenko noted that he will be able to agree on this issue with US President Donald Trump, who, according to him, will also attend the event. The Belarusian leader said that Trump will win the next US presidential election in 2020.
Lukashenko said earlier that Belarus could hold the Olympics together with Russia or Ukraine.
