Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday told President Donald Trump he had nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize, handing Trump a nomination letter during a meeting at the White House.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s meeting with President Donald Trump Monday marks his third time at the White House since January. Unlike the previous two episodes, there’s no public events on the schedule – leaving the two leaders’ highly consequential Middle East discussion entirely private.

President Donald Trump’s approach to the federal government has been to cut, cut, cut, which means when there is a disaster in which the government plays a role, he will have to expect questions about those cuts.

Mr. Trump said his administration was working with state and local officials and that Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem would be arriving in Texas shortly. DHS oversees the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
