Both leaders will address bilateral relations linked to economic growth and the strengthening of democracy across the region.
"With President Donald Trump, we are going to talk about protecting free trade in the Americas and the world. We are going to talk about political perspectives, and also about fellow Peruvian citizens who reside in the U.S.," the President said.
He went on to add the U.S. economy comprises a relevant matter, given that the North American country is currently Peru's second-largest exports destination.
