President Donald Trump of the United States on Tuesday pressed Jordan’s King Abdullah to take in Palestinians who would be permanently displaced under the president’s plan for the US to take over the Gaza Strip.

Trump has infuriated the Arab world by saying that Palestinians would not be able to return to their homes under his proposal to redevelop the enclave, which has been devastated by an Israeli offensive.

President Donald Trump once again insisted the US will take control of the Gaza Strip, as he met Jordan's King Abdullah at the White House on Tuesday. It was their first meeting since Trump announced his plan to take over the enclave and move its population of two million Palestinians to other countries in the region, including Jordan.
