(White House) At a joint press conference at the White House on Wednesday with King Abdullah II of Jordan, President Trump said, "In King Abdullah, America is blessed with a thoughtful and determined partner. He is a man who has spent years commanding his country's special forces. He really knows what being a soldier is...and he knows how to fight. The King has been a leader in calling for a plan to defeat ISIS once and for all....We will destroy ISIS and we will protect civilization. We have no choice....King Abdullah and I also discussed measures to combat the evil ideology that inspires ISIS and plagues our planet." "Finally, we discussed to advance the cause of peace in the Middle East....I'm working very, very hard on trying to finally create peace between the Palestinians and Israel, and...I hope to be successful."
