US President Donald Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House Tuesday as the US leader sought to avoid renewed bombing in Iran and instead laid the ground for further diplomacy after both sides paused tit-for-tat strikes.

“I think we have a very strong position right now,” Trump told Fox News on Tuesday. He reiterated his threat to bomb Iran’s major bridges if no agreement can be reached, but added “if I can avoid doing that, I’d like to do that.”

Trump’s comments came four days after the US ended roughly two weeks of strikes on the Islamic Republic. Hostilities had resumed when peace negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz broke down. In turn, Iran paused retaliatory fire on Gulf states.

Some House Republicans are urging President Donald Trump to expand his visibility for them on the campaign trail, as lawmakers sound the alarm on their vulnerabilities with him not being at the top of the ticket.

Several lawmakers who spoke to Bloomberg Government said they wanted Trump to be more aggressive in the crucial months before the November election to help turn out low propensity voters with control of Congress hanging in the balance and more than 40 open House GOP seats

“He needs to travel and convince our base that he is on the ticket because if we lose the majority he’s probably going to be impeached twice a week,” said Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-Fla.).
