Trump Announces Trade Deal With Jordan

DELIVERING ON RECIPROCAL TRADE: Today, President Donald J. Trump announced a landmark trade deal with Jordan.

• The U.S.-Jordan Agreement on Reciprocal Trade will break down longstanding trade barriers facing U.S. exporters and provide new access for critical U.S. industries.
• The Agreement will secure commitments to reinforce peace, boost regional cooperation and enhance supply chain resilience and innovation through commitments to jointly address non-market policies of third countries and cooperate on investment security, export controls, and duty evasion.
• Today's announcement will help build a future of peace, prosperity, and investment in the region while securing historic commitments from Jordan to benefit U.S. manufacturers, farmers, ranchers, and other producers.

Key terms of the Agreement with Jordan include:

• Jordan will continue to provide duty-free market access for almost all U.S. goods exported to Jordan.
• Jordan has committed to improving trade with the United States by enforcing environmental laws, protecting labor rights, including by prohibiting the importation of goods produced by forced labor, strengthening intellectual property protection, ensuring fair trade practices, and improving customs procedures.
• Jordan will also remove non-tariff trade barriers and expand market access for U.S. goods, including U.S. agricultural products and U.S. motor vehicles.
• The United States and Jordan will strengthen economic and national security alignment to enhance supply chain resilience and innovation through commitments to take complementary actions to address non-market policies of third countries and to cooperate on investment security, export controls, and duty evasion.
• The Agreement on Reciprocal Trade will build upon our longstanding economic relationship, including the U.S.-Jordan Free Trade Agreement, which entered into force on December 17, 2001.

THE PROSPEROUS PATH FORWARD: Today's announcement reinforces America's strategic partnership with one of America's most valued partners in the Middle East while fostering reciprocal conditions that prioritize American workers and industries, protect U.S. national security, and strengthen supply chains with key trading partners.

LIBERATING AMERICA FROM UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES: President Trump has challenged the assumption that American workers and businesses must tolerate unfair trade practices that have disadvantaged them for decades and contributed to our historic global trade deficit in goods.

• President Trump continues to advance the interests of the American people and our agricultural sector by removing tariff and non-tariff barriers and expanding market access for American exporters.
• Jordan has made historic commitments to invest in American industry.
  • Royal Jordanian Airlines purchased six Boeing 787-9 aircraft valued at $1.4 billion and signed long-term leasing agreements for additional aircraft valued at $500 million.
  • Jordanian Pharmaceutical manufacturer Hikma Pharmaceuticals announced it will invest $1 billion in the United States.
  • Jordanian businesses have agreed to purchase over $300 million in raw materials annually from the United States.

• Today's announcement shows that America can defend its domestic production while obtaining and maintaining expansive market access with our trading partners.
