Jordan’s King Abdullah II set off for the United States yesterday for talks with President Donald Trump on Middle East issues including the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace process, the palace said.
Accompanied by his wife Rania, the monarch is also scheduled to meet with senior officials from the Trump administration and members of Congress, the palace said in a statement.
His meeting with Trump is expected to take place at the White House on Monday, though he is already in the country.
The White House said in a statement that they would “discuss issues of mutual concern, including terrorism, the threat from Iran and the crisis in Syria, and working towards a lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians.”
