Jordan's King Abdullah said on Wednesday he rejected any attempts to annex land and displace Palestinians after a shock proposal by President Donald Trump that the U.S. take over Gaza, an issue that strikes a raw nerve in the kingdom.

Jordan’s King Abdullah II started an overseas trip on Thursday to meet officials in the UK and US, including US President Donald Trump. A statement by the royal court said the monarch will first visit London, which will be followed by a working visit to Boston and Washington, DC, in the US.

China, Britain and Spain have condemned US President Donald Trump’s “take over” proposal for the Gaza Strip while Jordan’s King Abdullah is set to meet with officials in the UK and US, including the American head of state.
