Trump Predicts More Nations Will Join Abraham Accords After Iran Strikes

President Donald Trump said that he expects more countries will join the Abraham Accords that seek to normalize relations between Israel and Arab nations.

During an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures,” anchor Maria Bartiromo asked Trump if any other country had suggested to him that they wanted to sign up after the U.S. military bombed Iranian sites to prevent Tehran from achieving nuclear weapons.

“Yes, so we have some really great countries in there right now, and I think we’re going to start loading them up because Iran was the primary problem. I actually thought Iran would, I actually, we had a period of time where I thought Iran would join the Abraham Accords along with everybody else, and frankly they would have been better off than where they are right now,” Trump said.

Bartiromo asked Trump if Syria in particular would enter the Abraham Accords.

“Well, I don’t know, but I did take off the sanctions at the request of some of the other countries in the area that are friends of ours,” Trump replied. “I took off the sanctions on Syria to give them a chance at, you know, the sanctions are biting. They’re very strong. And we have sanctions on Iran, too. And you know, you take them off when, I sort of gave the expression today, you get more sometimes with honey than you do with vinegar.”

The Daily Wire reported last month that Trump called on Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords, a series of treaties that he put together during his first term that already includes the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco.

“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 said during a speech in Riyadh.

Last week, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said on CNBC, “One of the President’s key objectives is that the Abraham Accords be expanded … We think we’re going to have some pretty big announcements on countries that are now coming in to the Abraham Peace Accords.”
