Trump to host Jordan's king after threatening to withhold aid over Gaza plan
Trump's apparent determination to relocate Gaza's population to Jordan has set the stage for a showdown between the US and a key Middle East ally.
As the Gaza ceasefire comes under increasing strain, the King of Jordan prepares for a tough meeting in the White House with President Donald Trump insisting Jordan, like Egypt, should make room for two million evicted Gazans.
Also on the programme: at an international summit on Artificial Intelligence in Paris, the UK and the US refuse to sign the final communique; and we will hear from the governor of Kentucky on how his state could be caught in a new international trade war.
