Obama to meet Jordan’s Abdullah in coming months
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePresident Barack Obama and Jordan’s King Abdullah plan to meet in the next few months, an official says, amid questions about why they did not hold talks in Washington this week.
“A meeting with the president will be arranged during an upcoming visit, likely to take place within the coming month or two,” a Jordanian official tells AFP.
Obama did not host close ally Abdullah — who is currently in Washington — at the White House this week because of scheduling problems, aides say.
“The president regrets that he is unable to meet with him personally on this visit due to scheduling conflicts, including the State of the Union address,” a White House spokesperson says.
