Secretary of Defense James Mattis met with King Abdullah II of Jordan on June 22 in Washington, D.C., where the two reaffirmed the U.S.-Jordan security partnership.

Exact details on the discussion are slim, but a Pentagon release says the two leaders “discussed a broad range of regional issues.”  Mattis thanked King Abdullah for his leadership and commitment to security and stability in the region and for his role in helping operations to defeat the terrorist organization ISIS.
