Netanyahu says Israel will work to get rid of trade deficit with US

Netanyahu vowed to eliminate the trade deficit with the United States after Israel was hit by 17% tariffs by Trump last week.

As he met with Trump in the Oval Office, the prime minister said Israel will work to eliminate the trade deficit “very quickly” and added that Israel will also work to eliminate trade barriers with the U.S.

“Israel can serve as a model for many countries who ought to do the same,” Netanyahu said. He added: “I’m a free trade champion, and free trade has to be fair trade.”
