The meeting comes as both face growing pressures at home. #Netanyahu is up for reelection & is embattled in part because of his deteriorating relationship with #Trump. Trump is under pressure to end an unpopular #war that has wreaked economic havoc & driven prices higher ahead of #midterm #elections this November.

#Trump revealed tension with #Netanyahu ahead of their meeting, complaining about reports that #Israel’s leader plans to discuss intelligence on #Iran activities at Pickaxe Mountain, a potential #nuclear site that Trump has threatened repeatedly to bomb.
“I know exactly what’s going on at Pickaxe,” Trump told Fox & insisted that whatever Iran is doing is “not a big problem” & “Bibi’s telling me that because he wants me to stay involved.”
“Why do you have to announce to the world?” Trump said.
