President Donald Trump announced on Monday that the U.S. will hold direct talks with Iran regarding its nuclear program. Trump emphasized that Tehran cannot acquire nuclear weapons and warned of dire consequences if the talks fail. He has sent a letter to Iran’s supreme leader, calling for negotiations over the nuclear program. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian previously rejected Trump’s overture but left open the possibility of indirect negotiations. Trump has consistently urged Iran to abandon its nuclear program or face military action.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed support for Trump’s diplomatic efforts with Iran, emphasizing the need to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Trump withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and has called for a stronger agreement. The president discussed these issues with Netanyahu during his visit to the White House.
In addition to Iran, Trump and Netanyahu also discussed trade tariffs, the Israel-Hamas war, and issues with international organizations such as the International Criminal Court. Netanyahu assured Trump that Israel would work to eliminate the trade deficit with the U.S. and agreed to remove tariffs on American goods. The tariffs imposed by Trump have raised concerns in Israel about the impact on the economy and potential job losses.
Overall, the discussions between Trump and Netanyahu highlighted the importance of addressing the nuclear threat from Iran, as well as economic and trade issues between the two countries. The outcome of the talks with Iran and the impact of the tariffs on Israel’s economy remain to be seen.
