Obama to hold talks with Jordan's King Abdullah
President Barack Obama will hold talks at the White House next week with Jordan's King Abdullah, a key U.S. ally in the Middle East.The White House says the military campaign to counter the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria will top the agenda. Jordan is one of five Arab nations to participate in the U.S.-led airstrike campaign against the militants in Syria.
The meeting on December 5 is also expected to address the ongoing civil war in Syria, which has led to a refugee crisis in neighboring Jordan, as well as tensions between Israel and Palestinians.
