Jordan has yet to respond to a joint US-Bahraini invitation to attend a two-day workshop in Manama on June 25 and 26 that will focus on the economic aspect of the White House's plan to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict even though it has been 10 days since the invitation was made public May 19. 

On May 29, Trump senior adviser Jared Kushner and US special envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt met with King Abdullah in Amman. Their tour, which included Morocco and Israel, focused on soliciting support for the planned Bahrain meeting.
