President Donald Trump said on social media Wednesday that he had a 'very good meeting' with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House and that they discussed 'many important subjects.' Trump did not elaborate on the topics. The statement follows earlier Trump remarks today describing the meeting as 'excellent' and Netanyahu as understanding the dynamic.
President Donald Trump took to social media Wednesday afternoon to confirm the positive tone of his White House meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling it a 'very good meeting' during which 'many important subjects were discussed.' The brief post did not specify which topics were covered. The statement follows a series of positive signals from the Trump administration throughout the day. Earlier Wednesday, a blog post described the meeting as lasting 80–90 minutes and characterized the atmosphere as 'exceptionally positive,' with Netanyahu calling it 'one of the best conversations' with the president. Trump later told Israeli media that the meeting was 'excellent' and that Netanyahu 'understands now.' The two leaders' relationship has been a subject of intense scrutiny, with past reports of friction over military strategy and the Iran nuclear deal. Today's meeting, the first since Trump's return to office, appears to mark a reset in tone, though substantive policy differences remain unaddressed in the public statements.
