| US President Barack Obama has pledged to Jordan an additional $200m (£131m) to help deal with the growing number of Syrian refugees in the country.
After talks in Amman, Mr Obama said the funds - if backed by Congress - would help provide more humanitarian aid.
Some 450,000 Syrians have fled to neighbouring Jordan since the unrest began in 2011, putting huge pressure on the Jordanian authorities.
Meanwhile, Jordan's King Abdullah ruled out closing Jordan's border with Syria.
President Obama said he would ask Congress to provide additional funds as "budget support" to help the Syrian refugees.
