Former President Donald Trump is set to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Wednesday, as negotiations over Iran's nuclear program reach a critical stage, according to BBC World. Meanwhile, growing pressure mounts on Prince Andrew to testify in the US over his links to Jeffrey Epstein, as reported by BBC World, and US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized Trump's endorsement of Republican Rep. María Elvira Salazar of Florida, as stated by Fox News.
Netanyahu's visit marks his sixth trip to the US since Trump's return to office, as noted by BBC World. The meeting comes amid rising tensions in the Middle East and intensified negotiations aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear weapons program. Netanyahu is expected to urge Trump to pursue a deal that would halt Iran's uranium enrichment, as well as cut its ballistic missile program and support for proxy groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. "I will present to the president our outlook regarding the principles of these negotiations," Netanyahu said, according to BBC World.
In other news, US lawmakers are urging Prince Andrew to testify in the US about his links to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, as reported by BBC World. Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna told the BBC that the Royal Family had "not been transparent." Democratic Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez stated that King Charles III "should direct his brother" to answer questions in the US. Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and reached an out-of-court settlement with one of his accusers.
Also, former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized Trump's endorsement of Republican Rep. María Elvira Salazar, calling it "an insult to his base," according to Fox News. Greene made the comment on X, formerly known as Twitter, after Trump backed Salazar for re-election. Fox News Digital reached out to Salazar's campaign for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
