Official announcement only after conformity
An Israel official said Netanyahu is expected to go to the White House in February but did not have a date. However, Netanyahu's spokesman, Omer Dostri, on Monday said the Israeli leader has not yet received an official invitation to the White House.
Last week, Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon said he believes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will travel to Washington to meet newly-elected US President Donald Trump "in a few weeks". "I'm sure he would be one of the first foreign leaders invited to the White House," said Danon in a media briefing.
PM Modi speaks with Donald Trump over call
US President Donald Trump, in a "productive" phone call with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sought a move towards a "fair" bilateral trading relationship and deeper India-US cooperation, according to the White House.
Both leaders also discussed plans for Modi to visit the US, the White House said in a readout of the call on Monday. They discussed a range of regional issues, including security in the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe.
“Today, President Donald J Trump held a productive call with Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India. The two leaders discussed expanding and deepening cooperation. The President emphasised the importance of India increasing its procurement of American-made security equipment and moving toward a fair bilateral trading relationship," the readout said.
