Trump says Mideast peace plan to be unveiled before Tuesday
WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump said he plans to release the Middle East peace plan that he's been promising since his 2016 campaign, pledging to reveal it before Israeli leaders visit the White House on Tuesday.
"Sometime prior to that," Trump told reporters Thursday aboard Air Force One when asked when the White House will put forward the plan. "We'll probably release it a little bit prior to them coming."
Vice President Mike Pence invited Israeli political rivals Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz to Washington next week as the two leaders remain locked in a domestic political stalemate.
Pence announced the invitation Thursday during a visit to Israel. The president's son-in-law Jared Kushner has been preparing the peace plan since Trump took office.
