【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] At the White House yesterday, U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The focus is achieving peace in the Middle East between Israelis and Palestinians. President Trump hosted Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu here in mid-February. And after yesterday's meeting with President Abbas, the U.S. leader promised he'd help the two sides negotiate peace. President Trump said, 'the Palestinians and Israelis must work together to reach an agreement that allows both peoples to live, worship, thrive and prosper in peace. And l will do whatever is necessary to facilitate the agreement, to mediate, and to arbitrate anything they'd like to do.' President Abbas welcomed President Trump's offer and the Palestinian leader said he had hoped for a historic Middle East peace treaty with the assistance of the American president. Several leaders from the U.S. and the Middle East have attempted but failed to do this over recent decades. So, some experts are skeptical about whether it will happen now. But they say this could set the stage for progress down the road. What is the focus of the meeting between President Trump and President Abbas?
