President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held talks on Monday in Washington DC before addressing critical geopolitical issues during a hastily arranged meeting at the White House. The Oval Office discussion saw Trump fielding questions from reporters, while Netanyahu remained largely reserved, offering occasional remarks on key topics.
Trump answered questions on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Gaza ceasefire negotiations, and escalating tensions with Turkey. The discussion showed alignment as well as friction between Trump and Netanyahu on key issues affecting and shaping political and regional stability in West Asia.
Here are the five top things they spoke about:
1. Iran nuclear talks set for Saturday
Trump announced that the US would initiate direct talks with Iran over its nuclear programme starting Saturday, marking the first substantive diplomatic engagement with Tehran during his second term. While details about the delegation and location remain undisclosed, Trump warned that Iran would face “great danger” if the talks failed. Netanyahu, however, reportedly advocated for a military operation to dismantle Iran’s nuclear facilities, a move deemed risky by experts. Trump described the delegation for talks as “high-level”.
