The Arab News reported, King Abdullah of Jordan met Speaker of the Saudi Shoura Council Sheikh Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Ibrahim Al-Sheikh and an accompanying delegation on Wednesday as part of the official visit of Al-Sheikh to Jordan.

During the meeting, the Jordanian King reiterated Jordan’s condemnation of Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, reaffirming that Saudi Arabia’s security was an integral part of the security of Jordan and the region.

King Abdullah reaffirmed the ties between Jordan and Saudi Arabia, praising the level of existing coordination between the two countries, asking the speaker of the Shoura Council to convey his greetings to King Salman and Prince Mohammed bin Salman, crown prince, deputy prime minister and minister of defense.

Upon arriving to participate in the summit of the European Political Community, which includes around forty heads of state in Budapest, he said, "I look forward to sitting with the elected U.S. president and seeing how we will collectively ensure we meet challenges, including the threats from Russia and North Korea." He also noted that the strengthening of ties between Russia and North Korea poses a threat to the United States as well, according to reports from Agence France-Presse.

Before Trump's victory, Rutte expressed confidence that a united Washington would remain part of the defensive alliance, even if Trump became the 47th president of the United States. In an interview with German public broadcaster ZDF last Monday night, he stated that both Republicans and Democrats understand that NATO serves not only the security of Europe but also that of America. He added that both candidates are aware that the security of the United States is closely tied to NATO.

On Wednesday, NATO congratulated Trump on his victory but did not address the Ukrainian issue.

It is noteworthy that the relationship between the elected U.S. president and the defense alliance was not the best during his first term in the White House. Trump criticized NATO member states multiple times and even hinted at withdrawing from the alliance unless they increased their financial contributions.

Additionally, the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war is one of the matters that complicate relations between the two sides, especially since Trump has repeatedly stated that he can end this ongoing conflict, which began in 2022, quickly. He implied that he had a peace plan between Kyiv and Moscow, while his vice president, JD Vance, revealed aspects of that plan, which stipulated Ukraine's commitment not to join NATO, thereby sending reassuring signals to the Russians.

Furthermore, many NATO member states in Europe fear that Trump might halt military aid to Ukraine after he previously criticized the U.S. for pouring funds into supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
