Netanyahu is a "talented guy" and "the kind of person that Israel needs," Trump claims in the interview program "60 Minutes."
"I don't think they're treating him very well," the president says, referring to the trial.
We will be involved to help him a little, because I think it is very unfair.
Netanyahu has been on trial for several years in three different corruption cases and faces up to 13 years in prison. During Trump's visit to Israel in October, after the ceasefire in Gaza was declared, Trump jokingly asked his Israeli counterpart Isaac Herzog to pardon Netanyahu.
"This has been one of the best wartime presidents. Who the hell cares about those accusations?" he said at the time.
In June, after the 12-day war between Israel and Iran, Trump called the trial a “witch hunt.”
