United States-Jordan Defense Cooperation Act of 2024
This bill expedites U.S. defense sales to Jordan by treating Jordan as a preferred country under specific arms export laws for three years, streamlining approvals for weapons and services. It requires a cost-sharing agreement between the U.S. and Jordan before joint missile defense projects can begin, including shared costs for research and semiannual financial reports. The bill mandates developing a plan to integrate Jordan into a multinational air and missile defense system to counter threats from Iran and its proxies. Authority for these provisions expires December 31, 2028.
