Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was set to push Donald Trump to take a tougher stance in nuclear talks with Iran yesterday, after rushing to Washington to stiffen the US president's resolve.
Mr Trump said on the eve of the hastily arranged White House meeting—set to begin at 11am Washington time—that he was weighing sending a second US "armada" to the Middle East to pressure Tehran to reach a nuclear deal.
But Mr Netanyahu, making his sixth visit to the United States since Mr Trump took office, will also be urging the US leader to take a harder line on arch-foe Iran's ballistic missile programme.
Tehran, which resumed talks with Washington last week in Oman, warned on Monday of "destructive influences" on diplomacy ahead of the Israeli premier's visit.
