Trump hosts Abbas at White House in Middle East peace push

President Donald Trump is shortly expected to receive Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas at the White House as part of a push to end the long-running Mideast conflict.

After hosting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in February, the self-styled deal-maker-in-chief hosts Abbas for the first time since coming to office.

“The president’s ultimate goal is to establish peace in the region,” says White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
