President Donald Trump’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began shortly before 2 p.m. ET today with Trump suggesting to reporters that “a lot of progress” has already been made, APA reports citing CNN.
“We made a lot of progress already. We had about a five-minute meeting, and we’ve already settled about three of the difficulties,” the US president said before the press was quickly ushered out. He said earlier that he would discuss about “five major subjects” with Netanyahu during their meeting in South Florida.
The US delegation for Monday’s meeting included several members of the president’s Cabinet and some of his key allies: White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino and special envoy Steve Witkoff.
