The combination of the looming suspension agreement deadline and the upcoming presidential meeting has
prompted Ukraine’s Prime Minister Volodymyr Groisman and Minister of Economic Development and Trade Stepan Kubiv to send formal letters to the US Secretaries of State and Commerce as well as the US Trade Representative requesting a continuation of the suspension agreement and an exemption from any 232 barriers that Commerce might recommend to Trump.
