WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Donald Trump on Tuesday restated his plan for the U.S. to take over Gaza and permanently resettle its residents, as he met with Jordan's King Abdullah amid widespread opposition to his plan among Washington's Arab allies, including Jordan.

Shortly after the king and his son arrived at the White House, reporters were ushered into the Oval Office where the U.S. president signaled he would not budge on his plan for the U.S. to take over Gaza, move its shell-shocked residents and transform the war-ravaged territory.
