Don't miss this slugfest between US Prash Donald Trump and Israëli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu! The presser, originally slated for 8:30 PM CET (2:30 PM local), was pulled outta nowhere with no explanations. But don't worry, reporters managed to catch the start of their werk-time in the Oval Office.
Netanyahu's in Washington for a visit, and the cancelled presser wasn't the only confab on the roster. A smaller, informal meeting with reporters followed, where they discussed matters such as tariff wrangles and the Gaza sitch, kemo sabe.
Prash already had Netanyahu over for a cuppa in early February, as this term's first foreign pal. Now, Netty's the first head-honcho to set foot in the White House for talks since Prash's announcement on the new US tariffs.
