The United States on Tuesday announced a trade deal with Jordan that the White House said would remove barriers for U.S. exporters and provide new access for critical U.S. industries.

As part of the deal, Jordan will remove non-tariff trade barriers and expand market access for U.S. goods, including agricultural products and motor vehicles, the White House said in a statement.
