Abbas, Jordanian king agree to fight against US embassy relocation to Jerusalem

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Abbas said that the potential embassy relocation, a stated intention of new American President Donald Trump, "is an important matter for the king and an important matter for us. There will be no alternative to coordinating and articulating action points with one another to fight any steps that, if acted upon, would have severe ramifications."

Jordan has yet to send its congratulations to Trump on his assuming office.
