Donald Trump is set for a tense meeting with Jordan’s King Abdullah after proposing to relocate Gaza’s population to Jordan and Egypt. Jordan, already hosting millions of Palestinian refugees, strongly opposes forced migration, calling it a “declaration of war.” Trump threatened to cut $1.5 billion in US aid if Jordan refuses. Protests erupted in Amman, with Jordanians fearing economic strain and demographic shifts. “We will not allow it,” said former Jordanian deputy PM Jawad Anani. As regional tensions rise, Jordan’s stability is crucial for the US and Israel, making Trump’s pressure campaign a high-stakes gamble.
