WASHINGTON — Jordan’s King Abdullah has arrived at the White House for his meeting with US President Donald Trump.
Trump greets him at the entrance as reporters try to shout questions at him from several yards away.
Asked if Saturday is still his deadline for when Hamas must release all remaining hostages, Trump responds, “Yes.”
Asked whether he thinks Hamas will listen, Trump replies, “I do.”
He is then pressed on his comments yesterday, threatening to hold off US aid to Jordan if Amman doesn’t take in Palestinians from Gaza.
Trump avoids responding directly, pointing to Abdullah and saying, “He’s a great man.”
He then escorts the king and his son, Crown Prince Hussein, inside.
