President Donald Trump said he expected an expansion of the Abraham Accords soon and hopes that Saudi Arabia will join the pact that normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and a number of Arab states.
“I hope to see Saudi Arabia go in, and I hope to see others go in. I think when Saudi Arabia goes in, everybody goes in,” Trump said in an interview broadcast on the Fox Business network on Friday.
Trump said he had had “some very good conversations” as recently as Wednesday with states that have indicated their willingness to join the accords.
“I think that they’re going to all go in very soon,” Trump said in the interview, which was recorded on Thursday.
