It’s rather clear that President Trump’s high-profile tour throughout the Middle East is more than a mere photo op.
While quite a few impressive photos have been snapped, what is even more impressive is the degree to which the Trump administration appears to be cranking out deals at a breakneck pace.
For instance, multiple media outlets have now reported that Qatar has cut a $200B deal with Boeing, certainly amongst the largest in history … not to mention a rather clear indicator of “America First.”
In addition, Trump also achieved a record-setting $142B defense agreement with Saudi Arabia, which is definitely very much welcomed amid an especially volatile time in the Middle East.
However, rather importantly, Trump has his mind on more than just economic deals … he is also thinking about even more complicated deals.
Geopolitically and ideologically complicated deals.
Which hearkens straight back to one of the greatest achievements of Trump’s first administration: the Abraham Accords.
The Abraham Accords are renowned for their emphasis on peace in the Middle East, as evidenced on the official webpage:
“We, the undersigned, recognize the importance of maintaining and strengthening peace in the Middle East and around the world based on mutual understanding and coexistence, as well as respect for human dignity and freedom, including religious freedom. We encourage efforts to promote interfaith and intercultural dialogue to advance a culture of peace among the three Abrahamic religions and all humanity,” the official webpage states.
The Abraham Accords were famous for normalizing relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, and Trump has long desired for other nations to align with the agreement.
Including the nation that he just cut a $142B defense agreement with.
According to a report from the New York Post, Trump urged Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords during a speech to the nation’s leaders.
“It’s been an amazing thing, the Abraham Accords, and it’s my fervent hope, wish, and even my dream that Saudi Arabia – a place I have such respect for, especially over the last fairly short period of time, what you’ve been able to do – but will soon be joining the Abraham Accords,” Trump asserted.
Excellent point. Especially as the Abraham Accords may well serve to reinforce the intentions of other defensive organizations … thereby allowing a more peaceful planet.
“I think it’ll be a tremendous tribute to your country, and it will be something that’s really going to be very important for the future of the future of the Middle East. I took a risk in doing them, and they’ve been an absolute bonanza for the countries that have joined the Biden administration did nothing for four years,” Trump added.
Without a doubt. Especially as Saudi Arabia aims to integarate more deeply with the rest of the world.
“With the historic Abraham Accords that we’re so proud of, all the momentum was aimed at peace, aimed very successfully,” Trump added.
Yes, it was. And may that aim continue indefinitely …
