Hey, are you there?
Yeah.
What's happening?
Nothing. How was, um, where'd you go? Greenland?
I went to Turks and Caicos.
Oh.
It was fun. It was beautiful. Was it really hard to work when I wasn't there? Did you miss me so much?
I didn't. I decided not to work until you got back. This is my first day back. Oh, excellent. Jordan's King Abdullah is in the U.S. to meet President Trump.
But it may be a tense meeting. The king, like most of the world's leaders, has rejected Trump's calls for the more than two million Palestinians in Gaza to be displaced to Jordan and Egypt.
