Abbas in talks with King Abdullah II on Trump remarks

A source in the Palestinian President’s office said Mahmoud Abbas travelled to Jordan for talks with King Abdullah II shortly after US President Donald Trump proposed to take over Gaza. Mr Abbas is expected to discuss Mr Trump’s surprise proposal for the US to “own” the enclave, while its Palestinian residents relocate to Egypt or Jordan. Cairo and Amman dismissed earlier suggestions from the US President that displaced Gazans should move to their countries.
