U.S. President Donald Trump will not be coming to Moscow for Victory Day celebrations on May 9, the White House said Tuesday.
The White House confirmed that Trump has declined the Kremlin invitation to attend Russia's Victory Day celebrations on the 75th anniversary of World War II victory the nation's most important holiday.
Trump said last year he appreciated the invitation, but wasn't sure if he could go as the celebration falls "right in the middle of political season."
The Kremlin confirmed receiving the White House note.
