Tragically, I suspect it’s that openness, that willingness to connect to other nations and other cultures, that’s made Jordan a target today. But I know these terrible events won’t disuade Jordan from being as open and welcoming to the world as it always has been to me. [...] [...] Jordan has a very special place in my heart.
