Trump tells Netanyahu U.S. talks with Iran must continue after White House meeting
President Donald Trump stated that his discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House concluded without agreement on key regional issues but emphasized the need to continue negotiations with Iran.
Trump described the meeting as positive, noting that no definitive outcomes were reached. In a post on Truth Social, he said he insisted that talks with Iran should proceed to determine if a workable agreement could be achieved.
The leaders also addressed the situation in Gaza and expressed hopes for broader peace in the Middle East, according to Trump.
Netanyahu's visit to Washington focused primarily on the U.S.-Iran negotiations, with Israel prioritizing its security concerns in the diplomatic process.
The meeting occurred amid renewed U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Oman, following the collapse of previous negotiations last year due to regional conflicts and military escalations. Despite prior tensions and strikes, Washington and Tehran have resumed discussions, with further rounds anticipated in the coming days.
