Trump Seeks Iran Deal, Expansion of Abraham Accords in Saudi Arabia

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia Former President Donald Trump, addressing the Gulf Cooperation Council in Riyadh, announced his pursuit of a revised Iran deal and plans to expand the Abraham Accords. Trump stated that he aims to negotiate a new agreement with Iran that addresses concerns about its nuclear program and regional activities. He believes that a revised deal is crucial for stability in the Middle East.

Trump also emphasized his commitment to broadening the Abraham Accords, the normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab nations. He expressed confidence that additional countries would join the accords, leading to increased economic cooperation and diplomatic ties. "We want to bring more countries into this," Trump said. "The Abraham Accords have been a tremendous success, and we believe they can be even more impactful with wider participation."

The former president painted a picture of a future Middle East characterized by peace, prosperity, and strengthened alliances. He argued that his approach, combining a firm stance on Iran with proactive diplomacy, offers the best path toward achieving these goals. Critics, however, remain skeptical about the feasibility of a new Iran deal and the potential for further expansion of the Abraham Accords.
