I read that the US just froze their financial aid to many foreign countries including Jordan. The news came out a week ago. The freeze is supposed to last for 3 months.
The Jordanian royals started visiting European royals around the same time the freeze was announced. Probably trying to drum up financial support from Europe as Jordan heavily relies on foreign assistance.
They like the West to believe that they are benevolent figureheads like European monarchies rather than the [authoritarian rulers](https://www.hrw.org/news/2022/09/18/jordan-government-crushes-civic-space) they actually are. Crushing free speech and journalism, imprisonment of dissidents, financial corruption. It’s the total package.
