Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House, where he met with Trump, becoming the first foreign leader to personally plead for a reprieve from stinging US tariffs that have shaken the world.
Also, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the global economic consequences of US President Donald Trump\u2019s tariffs \u201ccould be profound\u201d.
Speaking at the Jaguar Land Rover factory in Birmingham, Starmer reaffirmed the UK-US alliance as \u201cspecial\u201d and \u201cclose\u201d, adding that \u201cwe have to step up. We can\u2019t be cowed\u201d by US tariffs.
Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum, said her country, hit by tariffs on its automobiles, steel and aluminum, will \u201cnot rule out\u201d imposing reciprocal tariffs.
