Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - ‏Jordanian Businessmen Association (JBA) President, Hamdi Tabbaa, Sunday called for founding a Joint Jordanian-American Business council to explore wider prospects for joint cooperation between the two countries' business communities.

Tabba said during a meeting with U.S. ambassador to Jordan, Alice Wells, that the American investments in the Kingdom totaled $2.2 billion, noting that the Kingdom's private sector is looking forward to attracting more U.S. inward investment in Jordan in various economic sectors.
