Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has moved up his visit to Washington and is expected to meet with President Trump on Wednesday to discuss the negotiations with Iran, the prime minister's office said in a statement.

Why it matters: The announcement of the urgent visit comes a day after Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner held negotiations in Oman with Iran's foreign minister over a potential nuclear deal.

• Trump said the U.S. and Iran had "very good talks" in Oman on Friday and claimed the Iranian position is more favorable regarding a nuclear deal than it was before the 12-day war last June.
• Netanyahu's statement hinted the prime minister is concerned the U.S. might pursue a narrow nuclear deal with Iran that will not address other Israeli concerns and wants to try and influence the president.

What he is saying: The prime minister's office said in a statement that Netanyahu "believes that any negotiations must include limits on Iran's ballistic missiles and an end to support for the Iranian axis."

Behind the scenes: Originally Netanyahu was planning to meet Trump at the White House on February 18.

• A White House official tells Axios it was Netanyahu who asked Friday to move up his visit by a week and meet Trump this coming Wednesday.
• Netanyahu's early arrival to Washington will also allow him to skip the Gaza Board of Peace leaders meeting planned for February 19, an event that would be politically explosive for Netanyahu domestically.

State of play: Kushner and Witkoff visited on Saturday aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, which is deployed in the Arabian Sea not far from Iran's shores.

• Witkoff and Kushner visited the USS Lincoln together with the commander of U.S. Central Command, Adm. Brad Cooper, who also participated in the negotiations with Iran on Friday.
• The USS Lincoln and the ships in its strike group would be the spearhead of any U.S. military action against Iran.
• A source familiar with the details said the visit was intended to send a message to Iran that Trump has other options if the negotiations fail.

Trump Mobile is already failing to deliver on some early promises, according to the latest report from The Verge. The report revealed the near-final design of the T1 smartphone and uncovered some major changes with pricing and manufacturing.

The Verge spoke with Don Hendrickson and Eric Thomas, two of the three execs behind Trump Mobile, about the company's first smartphone, which will get a more expensive price tag and no longer boast being made in the USA. Thanks to a screenshot from the report, we can see that the latest T1 design also changed the camera array, which first resembled the iPhone's but now has three cameras in a misaligned vertical stack.

As for the price, Hendrickson told The Verge that anyone who paid the $100 deposit will still pay $499 total for the T1 as an "introductory price," but that later customers could fork up to $999. Thomas also revealed that the T1 smartphone will go through "final assembly" in Miami and no longer be "proudly designed and built in the United States," as seen in the introductory press release. Instead, the website now shows a description that says, "with American hands behind every device." We still don't have a release date — and now we don't even have a final price — but the website still claims the T1 smartphone will be released "later this year."
