Politico: Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s May 12 visit is “absolutely” happening, said National Security Council chief of staff Denis McDonough. Jones called Karzai a “strategic partner” and said a letter from Obama was delivered to him this week, thanking him for his hospitality when Obama visited Afghanistan.
Another tidbit from the AF1 gaggle with Obama's security advisers:
National Security Adviser Jim Jones said the White House understands that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can’t attend next week’s nuclear summit because it will coincide with a day for remembering the Holocaust. The deputy prime minister will attend instead.
