US President Donald Trump held talks with Benjamin ​Netanyahu on Wednesday to discuss renewed US nuclear talks with Iran, and said he told the Israeli prime minister that negotiations with Tehran would continue to see if a deal can be reached.

In their seventh meeting since Trump returned to office ​last year, Netanyahu met with Trump for nearly three hours.

"There ​was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated," Trump said in a social media post after the meeting with Netanyahu. "If it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference."
