Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Former Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Saleh Muhammed al-Mutlaq on Wednesday said that liberating Ar-Rutba city, 500 kilometers west of Baghdad from the Daesh terrorist group, will lead to the resumption of trade with Jordan.

Al Mutlak told Petra's reporter in Baghdad that liberating the city from the terrorist group is an important step to re-open the international highway between Jordan and Iraq.

Ar-Rutba, which has been under the control of Daesh for two years, was fully liberated on Wednesday.
