Trump Talks to Reporters
"We're going to take it. We're going to hold it. We're going to cherish it," Trump told reporters from the Oval Office as he met Jordan's King.
King Abdullah sat quietly next to Trump as he repeated his proposal that has drew global condemnation.
Jordan has so far rejected the proposal.
'For People in the Middle East'
"We're going to get it going eventually, where a lot of jobs are going to be created for the people in the Middle East. It's going to be for the people in the Middle East," Trump further said.
