Jordan's King Abdullah II is set to meet with US President Donald Trump in Washington, DC, as the latter continues to pressure the monarch to accept Palestinians that he would like to expel from Jordan, a move widely seen as unacceptable by Jordanian authorities and the international community. The meeting comes amid increasing tensions over the Middle East peace process and the stalled Israeli-Palestinian conflict. King Abdullah is likely to face US pressure on several key issues related to Gaza, including the potential for increased settlement expansion in the West Bank. The outcome of the meeting may determine the extent of Jordan's cooperation with the Trump administration on these sensitive matters.
