President Donald Trump is pressuring Jordan and Egypt to accept refugees from Gaza as part of his plan for U.S. control over the region. During a recent meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah, Trump indicated he might cut off U.S. aid if the two countries do not acquiesce to accepting nearly 2 million additional Palestinians. Jordan's leaders have firmly rejected this proposal, citing humanitarian and security reasons, as well as its implications for the two-state solution. Analysts suggest Trump's approach may harm U.S. relations in the Middle East amid ongoing regional tensions.
