President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met in the Oval Office Tuesday for a "productive" 90-minute session on the Iran war — free of any public sign of tensions that have marked their relationship over the past several weeks. Why it matters: The meeting could have gone the other way, given Trump's frustration with the Israeli leader over the war, which he even alluded to publicly shortly before Netanyah arrived at the White House. The fact that both sides described it as positive is a win for Bibi. Driving the news: An account provided by the Israeli government stressed that the two leaders are in close coordination on the war and that there is no daylight between them. "There is no truth in the claim that Israel is pushing the U.S. in a certain direction on the Iran issue," Netanyahu's communication director, Tzipi Hotovely, told reporters. "The Prime Minister is not telling the U.S. President what to do and is not pushing him in any direction. Both sides w

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) demanded that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) verbally address constituents and demonstrate his ability to serve or resign his seat in a blunt letter sent to the senator and his staff. The big picture: It's been more than 40 days since 84-year-old conservative stalwart McConnell has appeared outside of pictures released by his office after being hospitalized. His lengthy absence and past health scares are fueling speculation about his capacity to serve. Driving the news: Beshear said in the letter that it was also being sent to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), whom Beshear urged to investigate McConnell's capacity to serve. "I understand anyone's desire for privacy, but when you run for office and serve as one of a state's two U.S. senators, you willingly abdicate much of your personal privacy," the letter read. "That's the deal, and we all know it when we run." Beshear concluded the letter, "All of this speculation and even this letter could ha

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met Tuesday with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick as the Trump administration investigates potential violations involving Nvidia chip exports to China, according to a source familiar. Why it matters: Huang is in Washington as the Trump administration finalizes a framework that would give the government early access to the most advanced AI models before their release. Officials are also weighing their approach to open-source AI and China. Driving the news: Huang is holding meetings across Washington this week, including with Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, and other members of Congress from both sides of the aisle. Huang's trip had been previously reported, but not his meeting with Lutnick. An Nvidia spokesperson said that Huang is in D.C.
