Donald Trump and Melania Trump welcomed President Lenin Moreno of Ecuador and his wife, Rocio Gonzalez, to the White House on Wednesday, February 12.
The first lady was dressed in a pricey $7,700 snake-print skirt which she paired with a white sweater and a classy green coat. She completed her look with pink heels and wore her locks down.
President Trump donned his traditional navy suit and bold red tie. Meanwhile, President Moreno opted for a dark grey suit and a pale grey tie for his trip to the White House. His wife wore a skirt of a blue and black chevron design which she teamed up with a black blazer.
It was the first visit of Ecuador’s couple to the United States in nearly 20 years. The couple reached the White House in the afternoon on Wednesday and were met outside by President Trump and his wife.
Trump said he is working on a trade deal with Ecuador’s President Lenin Moreno, who became the first chief of state from the small South American nation in 17 years to meet with an American president in Washington.
”They have incredible product,” Trump said about Ecuador’s exports. “They grow it and they make it and we like it — and they need our product.”
”We are working on great deals. We’re working on military options including the purchase of a lot of our military equipment,” Trump said.
Relations between the U.S. and Ecuador worsened during the 10 years of leftist Rafael Correa’s presidency, but have been improved under Moreno.
”Ecuador has, after having gone through very hard times, and especially in regards to its international relationships, has decided to come together again with the international community and refresh relationships,” Moreno said in the Oval Office. “We need to remember that the U.S. is the main trading partner for Ecuador.”
