2025-04-09

On the 7th, US President Trump held a meeting with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House to discuss the situation in Gaza, US Israel economic and trade issues, and more. This is Netanyahu's visit to the United States again after more than a month. He also became the first foreign leader to visit the White House after Trump signed an executive order on April 2 regarding so-called "reciprocal tariffs". On April 7th local time, in Washington, US President Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House. The meeting between the two sides lasted for more than two hours, but shortly after the talks began, the White House announced the cancellation of the originally scheduled joint press conference after the meeting, and instead replaced it with American and Israeli leaders taking questions from the media in the Oval Office. As of the time of publication by the China News Service reporter, the United States and Israel have not issued a joint statement on this meeting. When meeting with reporters in the Oval Office, Netanyahu first mentioned economic and trade issues. He stated that Israel plans to resolve the trade imbalance between Israel and the United States as soon as possible, while also eliminating various unnecessary trade barriers. He revealed that he had discussed the tariff issue with US Commerce Secretary Lutnik yesterday, and Israel hopes to propose a solution as soon as possible. Trump stated that he is currently not considering suspending the so-called 'reciprocal tariffs' policy. Many leaders of countries are seeking negotiations with the United States. He said that enforcing tariff policies and trade negotiations are not contradictory. Trump also said that he rejected the EU's proposal for mutual tariff exemption with the United States on that day. He believes that what the European side has done is' completely insufficient ',' they are deceiving us on trade issues'. Regarding the Iranian nuclear issue, Trump revealed on the same day that the US will engage in "direct" negotiations with Iran on the issue. Both parties will hold a very important meeting on Saturday (12th). (New Society)
