Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he hopes to secure relief from U.S. tariffs during a meeting with President Donald Trump in Washington this week, highlighting the economic impact on Israeli exports and the strength of U.S.-Israel ties.
sraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed hope on Sunday that upcoming talks with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington will lead to a reduction in newly imposed tariffs on Israeli goods.
Under President Donald Trump’s recent trade policy overhaul, Israeli exports now face a 17% U.S. tariff. The United States remains Israel’s largest trading partner and closest ally.
Netanyahu, who has been in Hungary in recent days, is scheduled to arrive in Washington on Sunday for a short-notice meeting with President Donald Trump on Monday, according to officials.
In a statement, Netanyahu said the discussions will focus on several key issues, including Israeli hostages still held in Gaza after 18 months, Israel’s military objectives in Gaza, and the impact of the new tariff regime.
"I hope I can help on this issue. That’s the goal," Netanyahu said of the tariffs. "I am the first international leader to meet President Donald Trump on this matter, which is vital for the Israeli economy. Many others are seeking such discussions, and I believe this reflects both the close personal relationship and the strong strategic ties between the U.S. and Israel—especially crucial at this time."
According to Israeli officials, President Donald Trump extended the invitation during a phone call on Thursday after Netanyahu raised the tariff concern.
An Israeli finance ministry official noted last week that the new U.S. tariffs could significantly affect exports of machinery and medical equipment.
In response, Israel eliminated its remaining tariffs on U.S. imports on Tuesday. The two countries signed a free trade agreement four decades ago, and approximately 98% of U.S. goods currently enter Israel duty-free.
