Jordan depends on Israeli natural gas and American aid to navigate regional instability, according to a report. While disputes occasionally arise, King Abdullah II reportedly ensures that strategic cooperation is not jeopardized.
Following a drone attack launched from Iran in late July, a resident of Amman told The Wall Street Journal that "Trump is responsible for this war. America forced Jordan to take sides."
