President Trump hosted a dinner in the newly renovated Rose Garden with over 20 top business and tech leaders, including Tim Cook and Mark Zuckerberg, but Elon Musk was not in attendance, though his company was invited and a representative attended.
President Biden stated that he will not invite Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to the White House "in the near term" due to concerns over Israel's judicial overhaul plan. This is the first time Biden has spoken about the issue on camera. Netanyahu suspended the legislation on Monday after months of protests and calls from allies, including the U.S., to build a broad consensus around the plan. Netanyahu fired back, stating that Israel is an independent country that takes decisions based on the will of its citizens and not based on external pressure. U.S. Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides said the U.S. welcomes Netanyahu's decision to suspend the legislation but added that no date was set for a White House visit.
