US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says she had a candid conversation with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the United States’ negotiations with Iran.
“President [Donald] Trump specifically sent me here to have a conversation with the prime minister about how those negotiations are going and how important it is that we stay united and let this process play out,” Noem says during an interview with Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.”
“It was a very candid conversation.”
Iranian and US delegations wrapped up a fifth round of talks in Rome last week, and signs of some limited progress has emerged.
