Don't know why they'd want to go to the expense of setting up for local manufacture if they only wanted a few guns for VIP protection. OTOH, it's difficult to imagine them switching the entire military from 5.56 to 6.8 SPC. Time will tell.
Jordan is steadily building up their arms and ammunition industry, and experimenting with new calibres. There's a whole series of (so far experimental) pistol rounds from .22 to .40 calibre in the JAWS Micro-Mag range, all based on a .45 Auto case diameter: I have a set of them in my collection.
