US President Donald Trump reiterates that the Abraham Accords will be expanded “fairly quickly” and that Saudi Arabia will join “at some point.

“As far as I’m concerned, Saudi Arabia has done everything that we can ask for. They’re getting along great with Israel,” Trump says in response to a question on the matter.

Riyadh has recently been outspoken about its refusal to currently normalize ties with Israel, with former intelligence chief Prince Turki bin Faisal telling The Times of Israel this will only happen when the Jewish state “acts normally.”
