A horse for Barron Trump: Mongolian president seeks name for gift steed by robertarampton
WASHINGTON - Mongolian President Battulga Khaltmaa will visit the White House on Wednesday, seeking help from President Donald Trump on trade and military deals - and possibly a name for the horse his government has symbolically gifted to Trump’s 13-year-old son, Barron.
The vast northern nation locked between Russia and China is known for its ancient breed of tough, tiny horses ridden by Genghis Khan and other warlords - and often gives horses to visiting dignitaries. Trump administration officials were eager to highlight the visit of Battulga, a champion wrestler and businessman who leads the democratic nation of only 3 million people, strategically located between two U.S. rivals. It is the first White House visit of a Mongolian president since 2011.
Mongolia is concerned about its dependence on China, through which most of its goods move, and does not want to be subsumed by Chinese investments in infrastructure, telecommunications and banking, the first U.S. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
