Russia slams US deployments in Jordan

None

Russia on Friday called the deployment of US troops in Jordan over the Syria crisis an unconstructive step that threatens to expand the conflict.

 

US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel revealed Wednesday that 150 US military specialists had been deployed in Jordan since last year and that he had ordered the army to bolster the mission by bringing the total American presence to more than 200 troops. (AFP)
