The two discussed the negotiations in a two-hour White House meeting, and Trump said in a Truth Social post that negotiations with Iran should continue to determine if a deal can be consummated; if a deal is absolutely possible, he noted that would be his preference, or else they will see what the outcome will be. Trump also warned Iran via social media, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >referencing past actions<\/a>, and suggested that if negotiations fail the United States could take tougher steps, including perhaps deploying a second aircraft carrier to the middle East. Netanyahu indicated that any negotiations should include limits on Iran\u2019s ballistic missiles and a halt to its support for the Iranian axis in the region. The article places the talks in the broader context of Iran\u2019s nuclear program, and also ongoing discussions about Gaza and U.S. military aid to Israel, and notes that reporters did not attend the seventh meeting sence Trump\u2019s return to office.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump presses for Iran diplomacy in meeting with Netanyahu<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2502361\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump<\/a> told Israeli Prime Minister&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/benjamin-netanyahu\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> on Wednesday that he is not giving up on diplomatic talks with Iran as the Jewish state expresses skepticism that Tehran will give up its nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\">Iran<\/a> continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated,&rdquo; Trump <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116053512461029874\">posted on Truth Social<\/a>, shortly after a two<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/majority-passing-partisan-covid-19-bill-says-senate-minority-leader-mcconnell\/\" title=\"\u2018Majority passing \u2018partisan\u2019 COVID-19 bill,\u2019 says Senate Minority Leader McConnell\">-hour meeting<\/a> at the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/news\/white-house\/\">White House<\/a>. &ldquo;If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference.
