Trump talks Israel-UAE deal, Biden’s Middle East record at last night of Republican convention
The president slammed his Democratic rival for voting for the 2003 Iraq war, but there's no record Trump opposed the invasion at the time.
US President Donald Trump, in accepting the Republican Party’s nomination for president Thursday night to conclude the Republican National Convention, heralded the US-brokered agreement for Israel and the United Arab Emirates to normalize ties and went after opponent Joe Biden’s record on Middle East issues.
This month's Emirati-Israeli agreement to normalize relations means the UAE has become the third Arab country to have official relations with Israel, joining Egypt and Jordan.
Trump praised the historic agreement about halfway into his 70-minute speech.
“We achieved the first Middle East deal in 25 years,” he said. “Thank you, UAE. Thank you to Israel.”
