WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet US President Donald Trump at 11 a.m. local time on Tuesday, the White House announces.
The White House daily schedule shows that the meeting will be held away from reporters.
Trump has regularly opened such meetings to the press at the last minute, though.
He’ll be meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky right before Netanyahu, at 9:30 a.m.
That meeting too is slated to take place without reporters present.
The next item on Trump’s schedule after the Netanyahu meeting is the president’s departure for the National Cathedral, where a memorial service will be held for the late Republican senator Lindsey Graham, which is set for 2 p.m.
Netanyahu will also be attending that service.
