Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) welcomed President Obama’s signing of the “U.S.-Jordan Defense Cooperation Act of 2015,” a bill Rubio sponsored which will support the Kingdom of Jordan in its response to the Syrian refugee crisis, enable U.S.-Jordanian cooperation to combat the terrorist threat from ISIS and other terrorist organizations and help Jordan secure its borders with Syria and Iraq.
“This new law will strengthen our relationship with the Kingdom of Jordan as they face immense challenges from ISIS and the chaos in Syria,” said Rubio. “Despite President Obama’s failure to have a serious strategy to destroy ISIS, the signing of this bill into law is a step in the right direction by supporting our ally, Jordan, during this critical time.

I’m proud that this law will finally give them the support they need to continue the fight against ISIS.”
