US President Donald Trump said he has a good relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but the Israeli leader knows who’s in charge.“We get along very good. [Netanyahu] knows who the boss is,” Trump told Axios on Saturday. The report comes as Trump and Netanyahu hinted at a possible meeting at the White House soon.
According to the report, an Israeli official said the visit could take place as soon as a week after the NATO summit on Tuesday and Wednesday in Turkey. On Friday, Netanyahu called Trump to congratulate him on the 250th anniversary of the United States’ independence, the Prime Minister’s Office said.
Netanyahu told Trump that the US is “a guarantor of global freedom” and that Israel values the close relationship between the two countries, the PMO said. Additionally, the two leaders agreed to meet soon in the United States. Netanyahu and Trump last met on February 11. Later that month, the two countries jointly attacked Iran. Their February meeting focused primarily on how the US and Israel would respond if negotiations with Tehran failed to produce an agreement. Netanyahu requested that any attack also target Iran’s ballistic missile stockpile. (Source)
