Trump: Other states are ‘coming fast’ to sign peace deals with Israel

Trump, in his remarks to the UN General Assembly, continues to rail against China, accusing it of destroying the environment.

He criticizes world powers for lambasting the US’s environmental record.

“They only want to punish America and I will not stand for it,” he says. “If the United Nations wants to be an effective organization, it must focus on the real problems of the world. This includes terrorism, oppression of women… human and sex trafficking,” and other issues.

He then pivots to Iran and the Islamic State.

“We withdrew from the terrible Iran nuclear deal and imposed crippling sanctions on the world’s leading state sponsor of terror,” he says, underlining the US killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.

And he praises a “landmark breakthrough with two peace deals in the Middle East after decades of no progress,” referring to the Israel-UAE and Israel-Bahrain deals.

He says other nations are going to sign peace deals with Israel.

“They are coming fast and they know it’s great for them and great for the world.”

“These groundbreaking peace deals are the dawn of a new Middle East. By taking a different approach, we have achieved different outcomes — far superior outcomes.”

“We intend to deliver more peace agreements shortly, and I have never been more optimistic for the future of the region. There is no blood in the sand. Those days are hopefully over,” says Trump.

The United States-brokered deals represent “peace through strength,” he adds.
