President Trump shared insights about his discussions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He described their relationship as generally positive, though there have been recent disagreements. Trump labeled Netanyahu as “crazy” in a phone call due to frustrations over Israel’s actions in Lebanon.
Trump admitted using strong language in expressing his concerns about Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hezbollah. The Trump administration has excluded Israel from talks to end the conflict, urging Israel to cease hostilities with Hezbollah.
In an interview with CNBC, Netanyahu referred to “tactical disagreements” with Trump but remained optimistic about resolving issues.
Trump expressed interest in meeting Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, in the future. The Iranian government has not commented, and Khamenei’s health and willingness to meet remain uncertain.
Trump noted uncertainty about the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial oil and gas shipping route blocked by Iran since the conflict began. When asked if it would be unblocked by Labor Day, Trump responded, “I don’t know.”
