LifeZette: Jordan’s King Abdullah II declined to criticize President Donald Trump’s policies on refugees or his efforts to increase scrutiny of travelers coming from a half-dozen terrorism-compromised countries.
During a joint news conference after Abdullah’s first meeting with Trump at the White House on Wednesday, a reporter from the Associated Press invited the king to take shots at the president. Abdullah was having none of it, however.
“Well, as I think the president pointed out, most, if not all, Syrian refugees actually want to go back to Syria,” he said. “And we’re working with the United States and the international community … to be able to stabilize the refugees in our country, give them the tools so that as we’re working with the solutions in Syria, we have the ability to be able to send them back as positive influence into their economies.”
Trump sparked a firestorm in the United States when he signed an executive order temporarily suspending the refugee resettlement programs and travel from terror-prone countries whose citizens would present “heightened risks” to the United States. read more
Coalition building. A Real One.
heads of state teaching the msm about maturity.
that would never have happened during obama’s reign.
The king of Jordan is a Muslim.
Don’t trust him one iota.
Tsunami: Remember how his pilot was treated by ISIS? Locked in a cage and set on fire. Jordan has supported the US in the past and will continue in the future because the King knows that his country could be overrun by radicals.
I love it when the press gets it so wrong and on camera, too.
And because this was an important interview, it’s unlikely they can get away with not airing it or keep it from being widely distributed on the net.
(And speaking of tough, heard this morning that Trump has replaced the secretary of the Army (first openly gay, Eric Fanning) with Mark Green (purportedly one of the most anti-LBGT lawmakers — according to Think Progress. LOL!!))
Great news Abigail Adams! Mark Green serves in the TN senate and is an Emergency Medicine doctor. More importantly, he graduated from West Point and served in the infantry, Ranger, Airborne. Army sent him to medical school and he served in Iraq. He retired in 2006 with a Bronze Star among many other honors.
Always ask the reporters ‘how many Syrian “refugees” has Israel taken in?’
You’re on fire today AC!
Helo Driver,
Muslims mistreating Muslims is nothing new – which reinforces my original assertion.
It’s not about ‘radical’ Islam. It’s only about ISLAM. Ergo, there’s no such thing as radical Islam.
