US official says Trump unlikely to meet with Netanyahu at UN, citing scheduling difficulties

US President Donald Trump is unlikely to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN, according to a US official, citing scheduling difficulties. Netanyahu is expected to visit Texas, where he will likely meet with Elon Musk, before heading to New York City for the General Assembly.

The US official did not provide further details on Trump's schedule, but US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz announced that Trump will hold talks with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Trump will also meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House, and with Venezuela's acting President Delcy Rodriguez and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, according to Waltz.

Netanyahu's visit to Texas and subsequent trip to New York City were reported by The Times of Israel, while Trump's meetings with other world leaders were reported by The Mainichi.
