Trump, Netanyahu keep Iran meeting behind closed doors — continuing trend

Donald Trump met behind closed doors Wednesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the latest world leader to meet with the president this year without facing a torrent of reporters’ shouted questions.

Rather than bring in journalists, Trump opted for a social media post to summarize the meeting, which he dubbed “very good,” albeit shy of any agreement or progress.

“There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated. If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference,” Trump wrote after the nearly three-hour session. Officials from the U.S. and Iran met in Oman last week for indirect talks over Tehran’s nuclear program, and further bilateral discussions are expected.
