During his address at the Gulf Cooperation Council in Riyadh on Wednesday, President Donald Trump reinforced his goal of reaching an agreement with Iran. He also emphasized the importance of broadening the scope of the Abraham Accords by including additional nations in this groundbreaking pact.
Trump made the comments while addressing leaders of the Gulf Cooperation Council as part of his four-day visit to the region.
“I am keen to reach an agreement with Iran. My aim is to achieve something if feasible. However, for such a deal to materialize, Iran must cease its support for terrorism, end its violent proxy conflicts, and permanently and verifiably abandon its quest for nuclear weapons. They cannot be allowed to acquire a nuclear bomb,” Trump declared.
“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to forge a Lebanon that is prosperous and at peace with its neighbors,” Trump said.

At the end of his remarks, Trump appealed to the entire region more broadly, saying: “We’re going to forge a Middle East that will be a thriving commercial, diplomatic and cultural crossroads at the geographic center of the world. It’s what it is, it’s the center of the world.”
Trump will head to Qatar later Wednesday for his second stop on the four-day Middle East tour.
