The Jordanian government denies that the base is on its territory and is well aware of how unpopular it is among the country and local population, especially in light of US military support for Israel in its offensive on the Gaza Strip. Washington denies that the base is in Syria and says it understands why Jordan does not acknowledge the presence of US military bases in the country. So if the United States understands why the Jordanian government refused to do so because it goes against the will of the people, what justification is there for the Jordanian government to have a base there in the first place? And if the Jordanian government's claims are correct, what right does the United States have to maintain a base in Syria against the will of that country's government? The United States has 3,000 soldiers stationed in Jordan.
Another question: Why does no media outlet in the United States raise the issue of national sovereignty and the will of the local population in which we intervene? The entire focus of American journalism hinges on whether the United States will attack Iran, or what other hostile choice it may make, despite the fact that Iran flatly denies that it ordered the attack. The American media bears much of the blame for the permanent wars that the United States is waging, the costs of which are borne by taxpayers.
