US President Donald Trump held a phone call earlier today with Jordan’s King Abdullah.

Abdullah is the second Mideast leader to receive a call from Trump since his inauguration after the president spoke with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Wednesday.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has yet to speak with Trump since the inauguration, but they did speak on the Wednesday before to discuss the hostage deal, and the premier’s office is also working to schedule a meeting of the two at the White House.

Trump said last week that he’d see Netanyahu soon, but “not yet.”
