U.S.-Jordan Free Trade AgreementThe U.S.-Jordan Free Trade Agreement entered into force on December 17, 2001. The Governments of the United States and Jordan signed the agreement on October 24, 2000 under the Clinton administration. While the Jordan FTA includes, for the first time in the text of a trade agreement, provisions on trade and environment and trade and labor, including a reaffirmation of commitments to uphold the core labor standards identified by the International Labor Organization (ILO), these commitments are likely only to be effective where countries’ labor laws already conform with ILO standards.
