Will Israel get relief from tariffs and will Iran face devastation? The world's eyes are on Trump-Netanyahu meeting

International News: The world's eyes will be on the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the White House shortly. There are two main agendas of this meeting... US tariff policy and the Iran issue. After the US imposed 17 percent import duty on Israeli goods, it is feared that Israel's economy will be affected heavily. Netanyahu will appeal to the US President to withdraw this tariff. If Trump gives tariff relief to Israel, it can also become a ray of hope for friendly countries like India and Taiwan. This will send a message that trade concessions can be obtained from the Trump administration through diplomatic talks.

The turning point on Iran?

The second and more sensitive issue of the meeting is Iran. Trump has already indicated that he can order military action against Iran before May 1. According to sources, Trump can take a final decision on this plan in this meeting with Netanyahu. In such a situation, this meeting is not limited only to Israel-US relations, but can also decide the political direction of West Asia.

Strategic timing of the meeting

The timing of the meeting is 1 pm in Washington and 8 pm in Israel…this clearly shows that this conversation is designed to send not just a diplomatic but also a political message. For the Israeli public, this will be included in the prime time news bulletin, which is an opportunity for Netanyahu to build a big image at the domestic level as well.

Only three weeks left in Trump's warning against Iran

Donald Trump had given a deadline of April 2 on tariffs and the decision taken by Trump on that day has sparked a trade war all over the world. Trump has also given a date on the issue of Iran and that is May 1. Trump will need Netanyahu to take any action against Iran and Israel needs America's support in waging war against Iran.

If Trump decides in favour of Netanyahu on both the tariff and Iran issues, it will signal not only to Israel but also to other US allies that Trump's next step will deeply affect global policies. The results of this meeting on Monday will determine the direction of West Asia as well as global trade and diplomacy in the coming days.
