He insisted that whatever Iran is doing is “not a big problem” and that “Bibi’s telling me that because he wants me to stay involved.” “Why do you have to announce to the world?” Trump added, airing his frustrations with his ally. Other topics on the agenda for their discussion included the framework agreement signed by the US and Israel with Lebanon concerning the Israel-Hezbollah war, and the potential expansion of the Abraham Accords.In fullIran-US war latest: Israel’s Netanyahu visits White House for first meeting since Middle East bombing campaign beganMore bulletinsThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
