Everybody said this would be impossible. Everybody knows that mohammed is one of the great leaders of the middle east. The United Arab Emirates move fully normalize their diplomatic relations. Ambassadors and begin cooperation across the board and on a broad range of areas, including tourism, trade and security. Moment. A truly historic not since the israel jordan peace treaty was signed more than 25 years ago has so much progress been made towards peace in the middle east. Uniting two of our closest partners in the region, something they said could not be done. This is a significant step towards building a more secure, peaceful and prosperous middle east. Expect more arab and muslim the lead. Will follow i want to thank them. It is not surprising that they are in that lead position. Normalized relations with israel. We are already discussing this with other nations. And people who want to see peace in the middle east. Youll probably see others, but this is the first. This will allow greater access to muslims throughout the world. Visiting Historic Sites and hit and in israel. Pray at the mosque , which is a special place for them. My first trip as president was to saudi arabia in may 2017. My speech to the assembled leaders, every single one was the number one leader. An amazing and brilliant event. I made it clear that it can only be solved when people of all faiths come together to fight islamic extremism to pursue opportunity for all people. You are seeing a lot of progress being made that nobody thought could possibly be made. Things are happening that i cannot talk about, but they are extremely positive. You for yourhank courage and leadership to forge this tremendous agreement. As the abrahamn acquired. I would like to ask our ambassador to please explain why we are doing that and calling it that. Congratulations to you on brokering this historic Peace Agreement. Father of all the three great faiths. Abraham inred to as the christian faith.

I like to say that i want to thank the president for his leadership on this historic peace effort. Us to takent urged an untraditional approach. Not solve problems that have not yet been solved by trying what people have done before. The president uses common sense and tries to unite people by focusing on common interest. What happened was, we were able to achieve result that others were not able to achieve. Theuld like to say to people of the region, muslims, jews and christians that this gives hope that the problems of the past do not continue to a future this will benefit you and it will benefit people in america because in america, we used to depend on the middle east for gas and oil, but now in america is oil independent. A lot of soldiers have fought for securing our allies in that region. It lessens our need to have as many conflicts in that region. Medical extremism is a cancer that has infected many areas in the world. Many have used these conflicts to recruit people and to say that the mosque is under attack and that muslims do not have access to the mosque. Now people can take flights directly to tel aviv. Muslims will be welcomed in israel. Stepis a tremendous forward for peace in the world, for america, for israel, abu dhabi. It would not be possible without your leadership.

We are doing things that other countries would not do, but we put ourselves in a position where we do not have to be in areas that one point were vital. Friends and for our we will always be there for our friends. It was a mess when you came into office. This is one more historic step in bringing peace to the middle east. The physical caliphate was destroyed. Our friends in israel, who had suffered at the end of the last administration. Heights. Ized the golan in the broader region, you have a difficult situation in afghanistan. They were coming home injured and wounded. He got a Peace Agreement now with the taliban. Less than half the number of troops. Thisou brought about historic peace between the uae and israel, the first time in 25 years that israel and the arab countries have normalized omatic nations. Two of the most capable countries in the middle east. T is great for israel and uae he came into office a region that was aflame and he brought peace to the region. It is an honor to be part of your team. Pres. Trump we do have a lot. Ore in the middle east you will be seeing that taking place. That is a big step. Please say a few words. You have been doing a fantastic job. Administration made history today. It has been an honor to be part of the team that jared has led. No one has done more to intensify the conflict between the arabs and israelis than iraq. See the future is very much engulfed with israel. We are facing a crisis of credibility with its own people. Campaignum pressure has achieved historic results. Pres. Trump would you like to Say Something . Yes, sir. It is an honor and privilege for your leadership. And those leaders vision on what we can do in the future is just incredible. Pres. Trump thank you very much. Appreciate it. Anybody else want to say anything . They got very quiet. That happens on occasion. A historic moment. Thank you for letting us be part of this. Nothing is more important than peace. It is an unbelievable moment. Pressure, under your leadership, we have stronger sanctions on iran. Your commitment to make sure that iran would never have a Nuclear Weapon is one of the greatest legacies in the middle east. What is easier . Dealing with democrats or the middle east . I will be hopeful that we can deal with democrats. [laughter] pres. Trump say a couple words. A privilege to serve in your administration. This will stand the test of time and we look forward to the prosperity and peace this will bring to the middle east. It is a privilege. I would echo what he said. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this. You for this opportunity, mr. President. This changes the world. Pres. Trump thank you all very much. [applause] pres. Trump do you have any questions . Describe the tenor of the conversation that you had with the other leaders . Was there any hesitation on their part . It was a tremendous relationship that has been built up over the last year. , it is a verynse tense place, but it is becoming less so. I have great relationships with all of the leaders. Some have energies against each other. People dont understand that about me. Remember when i was elected, they said a war will start with somebody. I kept us out of war. Look at north korea. Including president obama, that is the biggest problem. We are not at war. We would have been in a war, if i had not been elected. We are doing very well in the middle east. It has been an incredible thing. The relationship has become a very good one between the uae and israel. And also with other countries. I think you will be seeing some very exciting things, including with the palestinians. That will be happening at some point because it makes sense for them to let it happen. [indiscernible] pres. Trump we are talking to you about that right now. You know your stuff. We will not talk about that. People work something out and talk about it after it is completed. Why now . Pres. Trump we have been working on this for a long time. Love foren a labor of a lot of people in this moon. A lot of them love israel and a lot of them love the middle east. Love the countries that we are talking about. The uae is an example. They know it has to happen. I do not want to speak too much about it, but if you love what has happened since i broke up that ridiculous iran nuclear deal, the money is not going to some horrible group. You have not seen the horrible terrorism he saw before. , butnot like saying it they are not getting money because i man is not getting money. I appreciate that iran is going to difficult times. Win the election, i will have a deal made with iran within 30 days. They would rather have discussions with Sleepy Joe Biden instead of us. We will have a deal made very quickly. Rightfully, they are waiting until after the election. There is nothing china, a man, gosh i would like to see or than to have trump be defeated, so they can deal with joe biden. That would be a dream. This is something that would be very exciting. Mohammed is a great leader. We are very happy. You can see many other things happening in the middle east over a fairly short period of time, but this is the first time in or than 25 years. Uae is big stuff. Very powerful, very strong. It has one of the strongest militaries, very tough. Very student. They will be setting up the meetings. Be a expect there will meeting at the white house. Pres. Trump there will be an official signing in the white house over the next. We will talk and we will take one of your questions. [applause] the president , available in.
