Today's meeting between King Abdullah of Jordan and President Trump is expected to be very tense, particularly due to Trump's controversial proposal of relocating Palestinians from Gaza to Jordan and Egypt. This has been emphatically rejected by both Jordan and Palestinian leaders, with concerns that it would compromise Jordan's existence as a nation. In parallel, Trump has signed new tariffs on foreign aluminum and steel, emphasizing his lack of exemptions, which could impact American industries reliant on these materials.
Creating an alternative Palestinian homeland in Jordan would mean it would essentially cease to exist as a country. It's not something Jordan could or would agree to, no matter the cost.
The expulsion of Palestinians to the country would be a breach of Jordan's historic peace treaty with Israel and seen as a declaration of war.
Trump's decision to impose a 25% tariff on all foreign steel and aluminum could benefit American steel and aluminum industries.
Trump says there will be 'no exceptions or exemptions' for any country in the new tariff orders.
