Donald Trump asks Netanyahu "Why do you have to announce it to the world?" on Iran briefing

President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a Tuesday White House visit, objecting that the Israeli leader’s intended discussion points on Iran had been disclosed to the media before their private talks. Asked about reports that Netanyahu planned to brief him on a fortified Iranian nuclear site known as Pickaxe Mountain, Trump said in a “Fox & Friends” interview that he did not need to hear the information through public announcements and preferred direct communication. The exchange, which came after Trump had already met separately with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, highlighted growing tension between the two allies as the U.S. administration prepares for nuclear negotiations with Iran. Netanyahu’s office did not immediately respond to Trump’s remarks.
