Trump insists Egypt, Jordan will take Palestinians from Gaza

US President Donald Trump insisted on Thursday that Egypt and Jordan would accept displaced Palestinians from Gaza, despite both nations dismissing his plan to move Palestinians from the territory.

Trump's comments came a day after Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Jordan's King Abdullah II rejected any forced displacement of Palestinians following Israel's war on Gaza.

"They will do it," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when asked about Egypt and Jordan’s refusal, as well as the possibility of imposing tariffs to pressure them.

"They're going to do it. We do a lot for them, and they're going to do it."
