ALBAWABA - Jordanian King Abdullah II started a working visit to the United States last Sunday, the Jordan Times reported adding that the king will meet with US President Donald Trump today.
The US president's meeting with Jordan’s King at the White House on Tuesday comes amid his repeated calls for Arab countries to host Palestinians as part of Trump's suggested plan to "take over" the Gaza Strip.
King Abdullah II's visit comes amid the uncertainty of the ceasefire agreement as Hamas announced pausing the release of the next hostages scheduled on Saturday accusing Israel of violating the truce.
Trump suggested taking control of Gaza and turning it into “the Riviera of the Middle East,” while "resettling" Palestinians into neighboring nations with no right of return in a proposal that was condemned by many countries including Jordan, Egypt, China and Germany.
Yesterday, Trump said he would pressure Jordan and Egypt into allowing the entry of Gazans saying, if necessary, he would withhold US funding from Jordan and Egypt.
Trump told reporters on Monday: "If they don't, I would conceivably withhold aid, yes."
