In pushing for a U.S. takeover of Gaza, Trump said he wanted to move Palestinians to “a permanent place” and that those displaced would not be allowed to return.

Like most of President Donald Trump’s meetings these days, Tuesday’s talks with Jordan’s King Abdullah II will revolve around making a deal — at least in the president’s mind.

Donald Trump meets Jordan's King Abdullah on Tuesday for what is likely to be a tense encounter following the U.S. president's Gaza redevelopment idea and threat to cut aid to the U.S.-allied Arab country if it refuses to resettle Palestinians.

President Donald Trump made a series of statements elaborating on his plans for Gaza on Monday, including raising the possibility that he could withdraw aid to Jordan and Egypt if they do not take in Palestinians and saying “all hell is going to break out” if hostages aren’t returned by Saturday.

The president turned up the pressure on the two nations to agree to his plan for them to house the Palestinian population of Gaza and said the Palestinians would not have the right to return to the territory.

President Donald Trump says Palestinians in Gaza would not have a right to return under his plan for U.S. “ownership” of the war-torn territory.

Powerful Arab nations have rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring Egypt and Jordan.

President Trump told reporters last month that he would urge the leaders of Jordan and Egypt to take in Gaza's now largely homeless population.

The push by Trump has turbocharged a reckoning over Jordan’s reliance on U.S. aid and revived existential questions over the country’s identity.
