The Founder King called for reading the real history of Palestine, explaining the historical periods it has gone through over two thousand years. Although diplomatic relations between Jordan and the United States were officially established in 1949, the political communication between the two countries dates back to before that, as revealed by historical correspondence and documents.
The documents indicate that the Founder King sent several telegrams to the Presidents of the United States of America, focusing on the Palestinian issue, including one sent to President Franklin Roosevelt III in March 1944, expressing his concern about the discussions related to Palestine and its fate.
The early Jordanian address to the United States was based on a clear understanding of the importance of the American role in the Palestinian issue.
This relationship was strengthened over nearly half a century, during the reign of King Hussein bin Talal, and over the decades, the relationship evolved gradually during this era, based on political dialogue, economic and security cooperation while maintaining Jordanian constants regarding the Palestinian issue.
Today, during the reign of King Abdullah II ibn Al-Hussein, this relationship has evolved, with Washington being one of the largest donors to Jordan. Despite political differences on some issues, the royal wisdom tries to influence decision-making in Washington to serve the national and national interest; economic partnership has gained increasing importance under the free trade agreement between the two countries, which came into effect in 2001 as the first free trade agreement signed by America with an Arab country. This year, the two countries signed a new mutual trade agreement to expand and develop digital trade, the services sector, and investment, in addition to the development of cooperation in security and military aspects.
Jordan attaches importance to this relationship and views its relationship with Washington as an influential channel for all regional and international issues, while the United States views Jordan as a partner in many issues. The mutual interests between the two countries have pushed towards maintaining and developing this relationship.
This relationship has roots that reflect its deep historical dimension, which began early and embodies a model of continuous dialogue and mutual respect.
