During his visit, Governor Gordon shared meals with soldiers, received briefings on operations, and recognized the soldiers from the Cowboy State for their outstanding achievements. The Governor and his military leadership team also met with King Abdullah II of Jordan, discussing opportunities for Wyoming industries in Jordan.
“It has been an honor to spend a few days visiting the men and women of our Wyoming National Guard,” Governor Gordon said.
In addition to visiting the troops, the Governor met with the U.S. Embassies of Kuwait and Jordan; ministers of energy and oil; as well as industry officials, to discuss oil, gas, and minerals development, including rare earth elements. The preliminary, high-level discussions touched on opportunities for Wyoming industries to assist in the development of energy and minerals.
Following his visit with the Soldiers, Governor Gordon continued on to lead his previously announced trade mission to Taiwan and Japan.
