US President Donald Trump said he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he intended to press ahead on talks with Iran, and that his preference was to reach a deal with the Islamic Republic despite reservations from the visiting leader. Trump said the pair had a “very good meeting” and that the “tremendous relationship between our two Countries continues,” in a post on social media on Wednesday after his sitdown with Netanyahu. While Trump and Netanyahu are normally aligned in their worldview, the US push for a diplomatic deal with Iran has alarmed officials in Israel, particularly after the US president indicated support for seeking a narrow agreement that focused on Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

President Donald Trump is privately musing about exiting the North American trade pact, people familiar with the matter said, injecting further uncertainty about the deal's future into pivotal renegotiations involving the US, Canada and Mexico. The president has asked aides why he shouldn't withdraw from the agreement, which he signed during his first term, though he has stopped short of flatly signaling that he will do so, according to the people who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions. A White House official, asked about the discussions, described Trump as the ultimate decision-maker and someone always seeking a better deal for the American people. Discussion about potential action amounted to baseless speculation before an announcement from the president, the official said.

US payrolls rose in January by the most in more than a year and the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell, suggesting the labor market continued to stabilize at the start of 2026. Employers added 130,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate declined to 4.3%, according to Wednesday's Bureau of Labor Statistics data. That followed revisions to the prior year, which showed a marked slowdown in hiring. Job gains averaged just 15,000 a month last year, down from the initially reported 49,000 pace.
