Explanation:

Jordan and the United States never entered into a formal alliance, but relations between the two countries both during and after the Cold War were characterized by respect for the goals of each state. The informal cooperation of the United States and Jordan began in the late 1950s. The United States began to provide Amman with regular military assistance to draw Jordan into its sphere of influence. Good US-Jordan relations were not spoiled by the participation of the Hashemite monarchy in the Six-Day War against Israel and consent to the activities of the Palestinian Liberation Organization on Jordan's territory. In 1970, Jordan removed Palestinian partisans from its territory, and took only symbolic part in the Yom Kippur War. The crisis in Jordanian-American relations occurred in 1977 when Jordanian King Hussein refused to join the Israeli-Egyptian peace talks. However, as early as 1979, when Iran ceased to be an ally of the USA, the United States decided to strengthen its cooperation with Amman again.

Another crisis in US-Jordan relations occurred in 1990, when King Hussein, under pressure from public opinion, took the side of Iraq when the country invaded Kuwait. After the end of the Gulf War, Jordan immediately made efforts to improve relations with Washington, engaging in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, which brought the expected results. Since then, Jordan has consistently pursued American policy, in return being one of the largest beneficiaries of US financial assistance. Under the influence of Washington, in 1994 Jordan concluded a peace treaty with Israel as the second Arab state to do so. It also supported the war on terrorism and the American invasion of Iraq in 2003.
