According to the New York Times, President Obama also stated that he:

“…would seek to renew a five-year aid package to help Jordan bear the burden of the more than 600,000 Syrian refugees who have fled the civil war there. [And] that the United States would guarantee $1 billion in loans to help keep Jordan’s wavering economy afloat.”
