Original source
US President Donald Trump said he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he intended to press ahead on talks with Iran, and that his preference was to reach a deal with the Islamic Republic despite reservations from the visiting leader. Trump said the pair had a “very good meeting” and that the “tremendous relationship between our two Countries continues,” in a post on social media on Wednesday after his sitdown with Netanyahu. While Trump and Netanyahu are normally aligned in their worldview, the US push for a diplomatic deal with Iran has alarmed officials in Israel, particularly after the US president indicated support for seeking a narrow agreement that focused on Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
