We’ve been fortunate that President Trump has led a consistent policy of pressure against Iran. Iran is increasing its aggression as we speak, even today, in the region.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with US Secretary of State @SecPompeo  in Lisbon.

I spoke out against six European countries that, instead of supporting now American sanctions, lessened American sanctions. That is wrong. I said, and I repeat it here today, they should be ashamed of themselves.

While people are risking their lives and dying on the streets of Tehran, they are giving sustenance and support to this tyrannical regime. The tyrants of Tehran should not be supported now. They should be pressured.

The Israeli-American policy is key to that effort, that serves the purposes of many, many countries in the region. That will be the first subject that I will raise, including the ability to strengthen even further our mutual defense.

The leaders discussed strengthening bilateral cooperation in – inter alia – economics, innovation, cyber, science and water and agreed on exchanges of delegations in these areas. They also agreed on cooperation in Africa.
