"The two leaders will discuss tariffs, efforts to bring home Israeli hostages, Israeli-Turkish relations, the Iranian threat, and the fight against the International Criminal Court", writes Netanyahu's presidential office in a statement.
Netanyahu thus becomes the first foreign leader to personally meet Trump to try to negotiate about the American tariffs, writes Axios, which was the first to report on the visit.
Gaza is a very important issue that we would like to see resolved, said Trump on Thursday after he spoke on the phone with Netanyahu, according to CNN.
Earlier in the week, Trump announced tariffs against almost the entire world, which caused the stock markets to plummet. Israel tried, without success, to avoid the 17-percent tariffs that the US has imposed on the country's goods by announcing that they would, as a precautionary measure, abolish all tariffs on American products.
