Jordan’s king vows to support Lebanon in meeting with PM

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) — Jordan’s King Abdullah II has promised the Lebanese prime minister that his country will stand by Lebanon and its people during its worst-ever economic crisis. Najib Mikati’s visit to Jordan Sunday is his first to an Arab country since he formed his Cabinet last month.
