Trump tells BBC Netanyahu did not defy him
The BBC’s North America editor Sarah Smith spoke with President Donald Trump in a brief phone call on Monday about his conversations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leading up to strikes on Iran.
When asked if Netanyahu defied him by firing at Iran on Sunday, Trump said the missiles were “already on their way” when he spoke with the Israeli prime minister. He added: “If I tell him to do something, he does it.” The call lasted just under a minute.
