Trump expresses frustration with Netanyahu before White House meeting

President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of their White House meeting, questioning why Netanyahu publicly discussed intelligence about Iran’s nuclear site.

Trump said he already knew about Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain facility and suggested Netanyahu was sharing the information to encourage continued U.S. involvement.

The meeting comes as Trump balances renewed diplomacy with Iran while warning of possible military action if talks fail.

Netanyahu’s government has supported continued pressure on Iran, while analysts say he may seek to avoid appearing responsible for pushing the U.S. toward further conflict, Al-Jazeera has reported.

Despite some public disagreements, Trump and Netanyahu emphasized their close relationship and continued cooperation on security issues.
