If talks fail, “Iran would be in great danger,” Donald Trump said.
The Israeli prime minister said the agreement Jerusalem and Washington reach will be looked at as a model by other countries now seeking to negotiate new trade deals with the Trump administration.
The Israeli prime minister met with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Sunday and is scheduled to visit the White House on Monday for talks with President Donald Trump.
The meeting is expected to focus on key issues, including the effort to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas, the completion of Israel’s military objectives in Gaza and the implications of the newly imposed U.S. tariff regime on Israeli exports.
Israel can provide a model to follow for other small to medium-sized economies faced with the economic fallout of America’s new tariffs. Many may be inspired by the PM’s conciliatory approach, including Donald Trump.
The meeting comes amid an IDF offensive in the Gaza Strip and growing concerns about Iran’s nuclear project.
Donald Trump in February made clear his policy preference—removing as many as possible from the Gaza Strip, which has become unlivable.
“We hit them every day and night — Harder and harder,” the president declared in a fiery social media post.
“Everyone loves that position. That’s a star-making position. And so we’ll see what happens,” said the U.S. president.
To confront the Iranian threat, ensure Israel’s security and Arab prosperity, and bring long-term stability to the Middle East, a new coordination framework is being fostered between U.S. President Donald Trump and Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, Mohammad Bin Salman.
The Islamic Republic’s missiles are “ready with capability to strike U.S. positions,” a Tehran daily reports.
The U.S. administration has been pushing for a new agreement to replace or strengthen the 2015 nuclear deal that Trump withdrew from during his first term.
