In a recorded video message, Blinken stressed that "Jordan development over the last century, and its regional role as an advocate for peace, stability, and cooperation are testament to the character of the Jordanian people and the vision of Jordan’s leaders."
"The United States is proud to call Jordan an ally, and Americans are grateful to count the Jordanian people as our friends. And we are confident that the ties binding our nations ad people together – from vibrant trade and cultural exchanges to our collaboration in tackling challenges like Covid-19 – will only grow stronger," he said.
