King Abdullah of Jordan is part of the mid-east freedom alliance with President Fattah Abdel el-Sisi of Egypt. Due to President Obama’s extremist politics, Abdullah and Sisi formed a working security and economic relationship with Vladimir Putin.
Prior to taking the oath of office President Trump spoke personally to President el-Sisi and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Since the inauguration – The geo-strategic evolution continues -> President Vladimir Putin (Russia), President Fattah el-Sisi (Egypt) and King Salman (Saudi Arabia) have all held diplomatic and strategic discussions with President Trump.
Now today:
[From the Office of the Vice President] The Vice President hosted His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan for a working breakfast at the Vice President’s Residence at the Naval Observatory this morning.
King Abdullah is the first foreign leader that the Vice President has hosted at his personal residence. The Vice President thanked the King for his efforts to advance peace and stability in the Middle East and reaffirmed the United States’ commitment to Jordan’s security and economic development.
The two leaders discussed events in the region, including ways to accelerate the Coalition’s efforts to defeat ISIS and promote a political solution to the Syrian conflict. They also discussed the King’s views on potential changes involving the U.S. Embassy in Israel and how best to make progress towards a comprehensive agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.
The Vice President and King Abdullah agreed on the importance of continuing to strengthen the US-Jordan partnership, and pledged to stay in close touch on events in the region. (link)
Much like Fattah el-Sisi, King Abdullah of Jordan can be part of a great team of solid allies in the region.
If you have followed mid-east alliances over the past few years you’ll see how this is coming together. CTH is very optimistic:
Egypt’s President Fattah al Sisi and New Saudi King Salaman January 2015
I think so. Pence’s demeanor is suited to international relations.
Vice President Pence makes me so happy.
Maybe Trump is going to have Pence take an active role rather than being a clown like Joe Biden?
.....................................................
I think that is obvious since Trump chose him. He is giving bhim a lot of front and center situations rather than burying him as other presidents have done.
This is awesome. Trump jumped in with both feet and so has Pence. There is plenty of work to go around.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Successful people surround themselves with capable people and delegate.
**he and his brother are preppies, of sorts**
He also graduated Sandhurst and the US Armor Officers Advanced Course. Graduated the from Naval Postgraduate School. Oh, and he flies Cobras.
He is a warrior-king.
He is one of the Last “Warrior Kings” and he is classically trained as well. I think if all the muslim leaders were like him we would end up with a true separation of mosque and state in the muslim world.
Thus far, Pence is the most active VP I can recall. I’m good with that.
