The United States and Jordan signed a new reciprocal-trade agreement Tuesday that supplements their free-trade agreement dating to 2000. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Jordanian Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply Yarub Qudah signed the document.\n\nThe text keeps Jordan's tariff treatment for qualifying U.S. goods under the existing free-trade agreement while placing U.S. tariff treatment for Jordanian goods in a new schedule. It also bars Jordan from using import licensing as a disguised restriction and calls for acceptance of qualifying U.S. or international product standards without unnecessary duplicate testing.\n\nDigital provisions prohibit discriminatory digital-services taxes, protect cross-border data transfers for business and bar customs duties on electronic transmissions. Other sections address labor enforcement, intellectual property, customs modernization, investment screening, export controls and sanctions cooperation.\n\nThe obligations are not yet operative. The agreement says it will enter into force 60 days after both governments notify each other that their required internal procedures are complete. Either country may terminate it with six months' written notice.\n\nSource: Office of the U.S. Trade Representative — https://ustr.gov/about/policy-offices/press-office/press-releases/2026/july/ambassador-greer-signs-us-jordan-agreement-reciprocal-trade\n\nSource: White House, full agreement text — https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2026/07/agreement-between-the-united-states-of-america-and-the-hashemite-kingdom-of-jordan-on-reciprocal-trade/
