President Saakashvili will start visit to the United States on March 10 in an attempt to attract investments, Saakashvili's spokesperson said on March 8.

Manana Manjgaladze described the upcoming visit as of "investment and economic" nature during which, she said, Saakashvili would meet with real estate tycoon Donald Trump "“to sign a very important contract on investment projects."

She said without giving details, that the contract would be "an investment breakthrough" for Georgia "amid difficult economic times."

Saakashvili met with Trump in New York in September, 2010.

Saakashvili's spokesperson also said that during the trip, the Georgian President will meet with IMF managing director and will also hold meetings in the U.S. Senate.
