Before heading to the memorial service for the late senator Lindsey Graham, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says his “excellent” meeting with US President Donald Trump was one of the best sit-downs the two leaders have ever had.

“It was a meeting with full cooperation,” he says in a video, “with mutual support, with understanding on the joint goal that Iran won’t have nuclear weapons, and also other goals.”

“It was one of the best conversations I’ve had with our friend, US President Trump,” Netanyahu insists.

The meeting, he says, was “an opportunity to exchange ideas, and also to coordinate on things that are important for the security and for the future of Israel.”
