Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he believes US President-elect Donald Trump can work with him to dismantle the international nuclear agreement with Iran.
“I know Donald Trump,” Netanyahu told CBS’s 60 Minutes in an interview scheduled to air Sunday night. “And I think his attitude, his support for Israel is clear. He feels very warmly about the Jewish state, about the Jewish people.”
While the two countries are close allies, relations were sometimes tense between Netanyahu and President Barack Obama because of their vastly different world views on the Iran deal and other issues.
Netanyahu said in the interview he “had differences of opinion” with Obama and the “most well-known, of course, is Iran.”
The Israeli prime minister has been one of the fiercest critics of the nuclear deal. During the campaign, Trump also spoke harshly about it.
