WASHINGTON — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had an “excellent” meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday, their first sitdown since launching a joint war against Iran and it offered Netanyahu a chance to smooth out strains in their relationship . The closed-door meeting lasted nearly an hour and a half and was “positive and productive,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Of Trump, Netanyahu said Sunday that “many ways, it’s his decision” on how to move forward.
