Trump and Jordan -in the much awaited meeting re Jordan taking huge numbers:
"The much-anticipated meeting between Jordan's King Abdullah II and US President Donald Trump in the White House on Tuesday could have led to a falling-out between the two close allies.
Instead, it turned out to be a bilateral tightrope walk.
"One of the things that we can do right away is take 2,000 children, cancer children who are in a very ill state. That is possible," Abdullah II told Trump in Washington.
"That is a really beautiful gesture," Trump answered.
Much to the relief of Jordan, which is heavily dependent on US aid, Trump also retreated from previous threats to halt or cut aid to Jordan, even though the Jordanian king remained steadfast in his refusal to take in Palestinians from Gaza.
"We contribute a lot of money to Jordan and to Egypt, by the way, a lot to both, but I don't have to threaten that," Trump said, adding that "I do believe we're above that."
