AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah, following his meeting with US President Donald Trump, underlined the longstanding partnership between Jordan and the US. 

In a post on X platform, His Majesty said that his meeting with Trump at the White House on Tuesday was "constructive," expressing gratitude for the "President’s warm welcome."

"We discussed Jordan’s longstanding partnership with the United States. It continues to be a partnership for stability, peace, and mutual security," the King said. 

The King also said on X platform, "I stressed that my foremost commitment is to Jordan, to its stability and to the well-being of Jordanians."

On the issue of displacement of Palestinians, His Majesty said, "I reiterated Jordan’s steadfast position against the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. This is the unified Arab position. Rebuilding Gaza without displacing the Palestinians and addressing the dire humanitarian situation should be the priority for all."

"Achieving just peace on the basis of the two-state solution is the way to ensure regional stability. This requires US leadership. President Trump is a man of peace. He was instrumental in securing the Gaza ceasefire. We look to US and all stakeholders in ensuring it holds," the King said.
