(Agence France-Presse) Jordan’s King Abdullah II warned Friday that the fight against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants is a “third world war,” as President Barack Obama pledged a sizable US aid increase to his country.
As the two men met at the White House, Obama promised to increase US aid to Jordan from US$660 million to more than US$1 billion (S$1.3 billion) a year.
He also vowed the United States would provide the kingdom with an additional loan guarantee.
