AMMAN, Jordan — Just one year ago, King Abdullah II met Iraqi President Barham Salih, marking the first royal Jordanian trip to Iraq in more than a decade.
On the agenda were plans to include Jordan in the economic benefits of Iraq's post-Islamic State (IS) future, including the building of a 1,700-kilometer (1,056-mile) pipeline linking the oil-rich Basra governorate to Jordan's Red Sea port of Aqaba.
