Jordan’s king buys more time on Trump’s Gaza plan with flattery

Jordan’s King Abdullah II, the first Middle Eastern leader to meet with President Donald Trump since he announced his intention to take over the Gaza Strip, deflected questions about the plan to displace Palestinians as he tried to avoid a public face-to-face confrontation with Trump.

Abdullah, who dismissed Trump’s Gaza proposal when it was announced last week, told Trump at the White House on Tuesday — with members of the press in the room — that he would accept 2,000 sick Palestinian children from Gaza while punting the question of broader resettlement to Egypt.

Trump tells Jordanian king that US will 'take Gaza,' Palestinians will live safely elsewhere

President Donald Trump told Jordan's King Abdullah that the US is going "to take Gaza" in a meeting between the two on Tuesday.

"Palestinians will live safely in another location that is not Gaza," he said, adding that the US wasn't going to buy Gaza but rather "run it very properly."

Trump asked under what authority the US would take Gaza, and he said under US authority. However, he said that the US would not personally develop Gaza.

Trump braces for ‘awkward’ meeting with Jordan’s king after offer to ‘own’ Gaza

One week after Donald Trump shocked the world and announced that the United States should “own” Gaza, the president has a high-stakes White House meeting with King Abdullah II bin al Hussein of Jordan, a crucial American ally in the Middle East, as the Israel–Hamas war risks reescalating.

Trump and Jordan's king set for tense meeting on Gaza's future

Donald Trump meets Jordan's King Abdullah on Tuesday for what is likely to be a tense encounter following the U.S. president's Gaza redevelopment idea and threat to cut aid to the U.S.-allied Arab country if it refuses to resettle Palestinians.

Trump's proposal, floated one week ago, for the U.S. to take over Gaza, move its shell-shocked residents and transform the war-ravaged territory into the "Riviera of the Middle East" drew a negative response from the Arab world.

Arab countries reject Trump’s call for relocation of Palestinians in Gaza

Five Arab countries came out strongly against President Donald Trump‘s idea of relocation and temporary housing for the more than 1 million Palestinians still in Gaza in a statement released earlier on Saturday.

Trump’s plan to ‘clean out’ Gaza will divide Middle East

Amid his recent flurry of domestic executive orders, Donald Trump has also weighed in on the Israel-Palestine conflict by proposing to “clean out” Gaza, with its Palestinian population to be resettled in Egypt and Jordan.

Once convicted of murder, Jordan executive brings message of hope to Boston

But that wasn’t what brought him to Boston last week. He was here to spend three days with troubled young men who have been where he has been: behind bars or facing a future of incarceration. He is decades into a storied career in corporate America that has included running the Portland Trail Blazers and many years as a Nike executive overseeing the most successful sneaker brand in the history of the world, Air Jordans. Larry Miller — a soft-spoken, self-assured man in his 70s — doesn’t seem like someone...

Minnesota's Largest Candy Store looks to become world's largest

JORDAN, Minn. —For 45 years, the Wagner family has owned the property just off Highway 169 near Jordan. Through apple, pumpkin and squash sales and 19 additions to the building, it's clear the focus is now candy, even earning the title "Minnesota's Largest Candy Store." "We are at 27,000 square feet under one roof," said owner Robert Wagner. But Wagner has even bigger aspirations: Two-and-a-half times bigger. "We have greatly outgrown 27,000 square feet," he said. The store is set to be rebuilt not far from its current location: Right...

US troop presence in Iraq to be a ‘very important part’ of prime minister’s visit

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ Al Sudani is set to meet with President Joe Biden next week, where the two leaders will discuss, among a litany of topics, the future of the U.S. military’s presence in Iraq. The U.S. has approximately 2,500 troops in Iraq who are stationed in the country to continue the defeat ISIS campaign. The two militaries have and continue to discuss the next stage of their partnership as they transition from the defeat ISIS mission to an enduring bilateral security partnership. “We are in the middle...

Biden and Jordanian king warn of planned Israeli invasion of Rafah

President Biden and Jordan’s King Abdullah II, speaking jointly at the White House Monday, warned against an indiscriminate Israeli invasion of Rafah in southern Gaza, creating an event that had not previously occurred during the Israel-Hamas war--the president standing alongside an Arab leader to voice reservations about the Israeli onslaught in the Palestinian enclave.
