NNA - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Jordanian Prime Minister and Defense Minister Jafar Hassan.

The pair “discussed opportunities to expand economic cooperation and increase investments between the United States and Jordan,” a US readout with little substantive information says.

“They also discussed the situation in Gaza and the West Bank,” the State Department adds, noting that Rubio thanked Hassan for “Jordan’s cooperation with the US in advancing regional security.”
