Live updates: Trump doubles down on controversial Gaza plan alongside Jordanian king

President Trump met with King Abdullah II of Jordan on Tuesday where he doubled down on a controversial proposal for the U.S. to take over the Gaza Strip amid pressure he’s putting on neighboring Arab countries to absorb its population.

The president and the king fielded some questions from reporters from the Oval Office, where Abdullah tried to slow roll Trump’s Gaza proposal, which is vastly unpopular in the Middle East. Trump, meanwhile, vowed to press on but also lauded Abdullah and his pledge to take in 2,000 sick Palestinian children.

Meanwhile, House Republicans are sorting out how they’ll get Trump’s legislative agenda passed.

House Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington (R-Texas) floated a framework for advancing President Trump’s legislative agenda during a private meeting of panel members Tuesday morning, sources told The Hill. His committee has set a markup on a blueprint for Thursday.

Republicans remain divided over some of the thorniest issues at the center of their plan to pass Trump’s legislative agenda, disagreements that are threatening to derail their timeline just days before the Senate is planning to advance a competing set of bills.
