President Donald Trump greeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outside the West Wing ahead of their Oval Office meeting.
The leaders are expected to discuss a wide-range of issues, including Israel’s war in Gaza and the Trump’s tariffs. The White House canceled a news conference that was set to happen this afternoon.
Earlier today, Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House National Economic Council, said Monday’s meeting between both leaders will be the first in-person meeting with a foreign country trying to negotiate with the president on the tariffs he announced last week.
