Netanyahu Heads to Washington for High-Stakes Talks with Trump
The April 7 meeting will tackle Gaza ceasefire negotiations, U.S.-Israel trade tensions, and growing concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday, marking his second visit since Trump's second term began.
- Key topics for discussion include efforts to secure a Gaza ceasefire, recent U.S. tariffs on Israeli imports, and the Iranian nuclear program.
- Trump recently imposed a 17% tariff on Israeli goods, despite Israel having removed nearly all tariffs on U.S. imports, straining the economic partnership.
- The Gaza conflict has escalated, with Israel resuming airstrikes and ground operations in March after a ceasefire with Hamas collapsed.
- Trump has threatened military action against Iran if no agreement on its nuclear program is reached, raising regional security stakes for both nations.
