Jordan's King Abdullah has postponed a meeting with US President George W Bush, citing concerns about Washington's position on the Middle East peace process.

The meeting had been due to take place tomorrow.

Officials say the meeting has now been rescheduled for the first week of May.

Mr Bush has been strongly criticised by several Arab countries for supporting Israel's plan to retain some settlements in the West Bank.
