US Defense Secretary Carter lands in Jordan
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS Defense Secretary Ashton Carter lands in Jordan, where he is to meet American troops stationed in the country and colleagues of a Jordanian pilot burned alive by the Islamic State group.
Carter is on the second leg of a regional mission to try to reassure Washington’s allies over the nuclear deal between major powers and Iran, but he was not scheduled to meet Jordanian officials to discuss that subject.
An AFP correspondent said Carter arrived from Israel at the Muwaffak Salti air base in the north of the kingdom from which a US-led coalition carries out airstrikes on IS targets.
He is scheduled to travel on to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.
