The planned press conference of US President Donald Trump and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after a meeting in the White House was surprisingly canceled. This was initially announced by an employee of the White House without giving reasons. However, journalists should be able to follow the beginning of the meeting of the two in the president’s office, as several correspondents reported. The two will also answer questions, it said.
Netanyahu is currently a visit to Washington. In addition to a conversation in the Oval Office, before which a small group of selected journalists can usually ask questions, the joint press conference was originally scheduled for 8.30 p.m. CEST (2:30 p.m. local time). Further media representatives would have had the opportunity to ask questions to both politicians.
Trump had already received Netanyahu in early February – as the first foreign guest of his second term. Now Netanyahu is the first head of government to receive talks since Trump’s announcement of the new US tariffs in the White House. (APA/dpa)
