PRESS RELEASE
Amman, Jordan — Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leading a bipartisan Congressional delegation to Jordan for meetings with King Abdullah II and top U.S. government officials.
“This evening, our bipartisan delegation was honored to meet with His Majesty King Abdullah II, Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, Prince Feisal bin Al Hussein, Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and senior Jordanian officials,” Speaker Pelosi said. “We expressed our continued appreciation for the strategic partnership between the U.S. and Jordan and engaged in a constructive dialogue on regional stability, counterterrorism, security cooperation, Middle East peace, economic development and other shared challenges.”
“Our bipartisan delegation is visiting Jordan at a critical time for the security and stability of the region,” said Speaker Pelosi. “With the deepening crisis in Syria after Turkey’s incursion, our delegation has engaged in vital discussions about the impact to regional stability, increased flow of refugees, and the dangerous opening that has been provided to ISIS, Iran and Russia.”
At the U.S. Embassy in Amman, the delegation received detailed briefings by Chargé d’Affaires Karen Sasahara, senior diplomats and military officials and had the opportunity to thank members of the U.S. Marine detachment.
“As ever, we bring the deep gratitude of the U.S. Congress and the American people to the brave men and women serving our country overseas,” Speaker Pelosi concluded.
The Members of the bipartisan Congressional delegation are:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Ranking Member Mac Thornberry, House Armed Services Committee
Chairman Eliot Engel, House Foreign Affairs Committee
Chairman Bennie Thompson, Homeland Security Committee
Chairman Adam Schiff, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence
Congressman Ron Kind, House Ways and Means Committee
Congresswoman Susan Davis, House Armed Services Committee
Congressman Stephen Lynch, Chairman, House Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on National Security
Congresswoman Elaine Luria, House Armed Services Committee
Did she clear that with the president beforehand, or is she engaging in rogue activities, which could hurt the US?
She needs to take up a rifle and fight.
Much less a woman who can’t seem to put a full sentence together.
“Bi-partisn”
Pffftt
Elaine Luria (D-VA)
Pelosi - Democrat
Schiff - Democrat
Eliot Engel (D-NY)
Bennie Thompson (D-MS)...
I wonder what Pelosi will make of it. She'll lie and say it was WONderful.
Truth be known, it's DUSTY, this Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan--"Hash you might" have expected.
Pardon the pun.
Ron Kind (D-WI)...
Susan Davis (D-CA)...
Logan Act violation. Treason! What kinda of illegal deal, financial & otherwise, is she trying to strike?
Stephan Lynch (D-MA)...
Treason!
Yeah bipartisan my a@@..there is 1 Republican attending and I bet they lose him at the airport
Why aren’t they working on legislation....like USMCA... That’s their job...not undercutting the President.
Russia and Syria have been allies for 50 years. Get over it Nancy.
i do not trust Nancy to represent or even speak about American policies overseas. she is a mean political animal and she lies like a rug, too
Hope she screws something up the State Dept has put in place over there
