What after commenting and stopping American aid to Jordan?

Alghad - 16/03
US President Donald Trump's decision to suspend American aid until it reviewed a widespread controversy inside and outside America. The repercussions of this decision cast a shadow over many countries of the world that receive aid, including Jordan. The US President's decision was not excluded, although Washington and Oman signed an agreement for a period of 7 years ending in 2029, according to which America is paying one billion and 645 million dollars annually to Jordan. After the king's visit to Washington and his meeting with the American President, and his ability to contain Trump's surprises, and the videos of the king's wisdom from Trump himself, it was said that Jordan has received reassurances that some aid will continue, foremost of which is the continuation of technical studies related to water, and despite talking about the promise of continuous support of the budget, but it was not officially confirmed, and there is also a talk about the continued support of some vital projects and programs, and the government is required Disclosure of public opinion on the economic consequences of the relationship with Washington under the new American administration. What if all aid stops, what is the size of the economic and social damage inside the country, and how the government will compensate for the lack of resources, how much debt will increase, and will the prices rise, and new taxes are imposed on citizens, all questions in the answer drawing? In 1990, after the occupation of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to Kuwait, Jordan was subjected to an unprecedented economic blockade, a Gulf, American, and European province, and attempts to isolate Oman, and despite that, Jordan stood up, came out a few years after the crisis, succeeded in restoring its relations, and removed a misunderstanding of his position. Despite the difficult circumstances these days, I am optimistic that it is a lesson for successive governments to learn how to seriously, for self -reliance, by practice, deeds, not by speaking, maximizing our resources, and investing in people the most precious thing that Jordan has? At the Riyadh meeting last month, which included the Gulf Cooperation Council countries with Jordan and Egypt, information leaked that stopping American aid offered for discussion, and there were Gulf pledges to provide emergency financial aid to relieve American pressure, and to strengthen the positions of Oman and Cairo, and this brings to mind how the Gulf states stood with Jordan years ago and provided a package of financial aid and projects for a period of 5 years, which had an impact on the revival of the economic situation that was going through difficulties, And challenges. The damage that occurred from the suspension of some aid, and another endowment that cannot be fully avoided. For example, the cancellation of the USAID agency constitutes a painful blow, there are sectors in state institutions that depend heavily in their programs and projects on the American agency, including, but not limited to, the Ministry of Education, Health, Water, Municipalities, and many independent bodies such as elections, integrity and fighting corruption, except for this On the civil society institutions that were also severely damaged. The matter goes beyond Jordan, as the US Development Agency stopped causing great harm to many American companies that win bids to implement projects with hundreds of millions, and some of them were totally dependent on the Development Agency, and the result is its closure, and some known American international institutions closed their offices immediately in Amman, and has not yet been issued statistics, or documented information about the impact of USAID in Jordan, and initial estimates of at least 20 A thousand families were negatively affected. There are those who are betting that European countries may limit in a limited way the lack of support and financing for government programs and projects, and for civil society institutions, but the pressure of President Trump's administration on Europe to increase NATO defense support will exhaust
