Jordan's trade balance surplus with the United States during the

Jordan's
exports during the first 11 months 2021 nearly reached $2.5 billion, compared
to $1,120 billion in imports, Batayneh said in his interview with
"Petra" on Saturday.
Batayneh
noted garment and textile industries' products are the top Jordanian exports to
the American market, followed by engineering, foodstuffs, Dead Sea products,
and jewelry.
Jordan has
started to export its services online via digital economy transactions, whether
in engineering or information areas, which would have a "significant"
impact on Jordanian exports in the coming years, he pointed out.
Jordanian-American
relations are "getting closer than ever before," thanks to efforts
made by His Majesty King Abdullah II and his "distinguished"
relations with Washington, he said, lauding US support to the Kingdom to
address "difficult" economic conditions, he noted.
Jordan was
the first Arab country to sign a free trade agreement (FTA) with United States
in 2000, which fully entered into force in January 2010.
