Benjamin Netanyahu: “We've never had a friend, even close, a friend as President…”

“Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you. I have to say that. I have to say that in addition to what I said, that We've never had a friend, even close, a friend as President Trump in the White House.
