US President Trump say meeting with Israeli PM Netanyahu was very good; insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a deal can be consummated, which would be his preference, but if not, we will see what happens
Newsquawk Staff ·
Full post: I have just finished meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, of Israel, and various of his Representatives. It was a very good meeting, the tremendous relationship between our two Countries continues. There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated. If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference. If it cannot, we will just have to see what the outcome will be. Last time Iran decided that they were better off not making a Deal, and they were hit with Midnight Hammer — That did not work well for them. Hopefully this time they will be more reasonable and responsible. Additionally, we discussed the tremendous progress being made in Gaza, and the Region in general. There is truly PEACE in the Middle East. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
What it means
President Trump's positive remarks about his meeting with Israeli PM Netanyahu underscores a strong U.S.-Israel relationship, which may bolster regional stability. His insistence on continuing negotiations with Iran indicates a diplomatic approach, but leaves room for uncertainty if a deal isn't reached, likely impacting risk sentiment across markets, particularly in energy and safe-haven assets.
