President Trump welcomes German Chancellor Angela Merkel to the White House Friday for a short meeting and lunch. The pair is likely to discuss the current peace talks between South and North Korea, trade and the Iran nuclear visit.
Like French President Emmanuel Macron did during a state visit earlier in the week, Merkel is expected to implore Trump to stick with the nuclear agreement in which the U.S. and allies reduce economic sanctions on Iran as it gives up the means to make nuclear weapons.
Trump, who has criticized the agreement and claims Iran is violating it, faces a May 12 certification deadline and has indicated he may move to kill the deal; Merkel and other European leaders say that will only encourage the Iranians to pursue nuclear weapons.
Merkel and Trump will host a joint news conference which you can watch live in the player above.
The two are expected to shake hands, something Trump seemed to want to avoid during a Merkel visit to the White House last year.
