Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump refuted Tuesday the Associated Press’ report that he would travel to Jordan at the end of the month.
The AP reported that Trump told government officials he wanted to meet with King Abdullah and that he would visit Jordan during his trip to Israel. Trump has Secret Service protection.
Trump confirmed that he was traveling to Israel, but not Jordan in a couple tweets after the AP story was posted.
Despite my great respect for King Abdullah II, I will not be visiting Jordan at this time. This is in response to the false @AP report.

Prior to the end of the year, I will be traveling to Israel. I am very much looking forward to it.
