Ammon News - Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Ayman Safadi, on Monday started a working visit to the United States.

In his visit, Safadi is scheduled to meet with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, senior administration officials in the US State Department and the National Security Council, members of the House of Representatives and Senate, and research and academic organizations and centers.

Safadi will discuss a number of issues, including ways to enhance strategic ties between Jordan and the United States in various fields.
