US President Donald Trump told Axios on Saturday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked him for a meeting at the White House and it could take place as early as next week, Anadolu reports.
“We get along very good. (Netanyahu) knows who the boss is,” Trump said in a brief phone interview.
This would be the first meeting between the two leaders since their February Situation Room meeting, when Netanyahu presented his plan for a joint war against Iran.
An Israeli official said next week could be too soon because of Trump’s trip to Türkiye for the NATO summit on July 7-8, saying the meeting “might take place the week after.”
Netanyahu’s office said the prime minister called Trump on Friday to congratulate him on the 250th US Independence Day, noting that the two leaders “agreed to meet soon in the United States.”
