President Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday, a White House official confirmed.
This marks the second visit for Netanyahu this year after he had previously visited in February, a few weeks after Trump first took office. Trump told reporters on Thursday that he had spoken with the prime minister and that he would be visiting in the “not too distant future.”
The visit was first reported by Axios.
The trip comes as Israel has been slapped with a 17 percent “retaliatory tariff” from the United States as part of the president’s global tariffs.
Israel also resumed its air and ground operation in Gaza after a breakdown in talks over the cease fire deal. Trump signaled Thursday that Gaza is a “big problem” that he’ll be speaking with Netanyahu about.
“We’ll be speaking about what’s going on, that’s another thing we’d like to get solved,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Thursday.
