It's probably just Trump's way of claiming progress on his failed Peace to Prosperity: A Vision to Improve the Lives of the Palestinian and Israeli People plan. He will undoubtedly use this during his campaign on how he has fixed many of the region's problems - which he may just be delusional enough to believe.

Just like replacing a couple hundred miles of existing barriers on the US-Mexico border (while only building a few miles of "the wall" in areas where none previously existed) is his idea of keeping a promise. (Although no word yet on when Mexico is paying for it.)

Donald J. Trump 2020 - taking credit for things he hasn't done, shirking responsibly for everything else.

The U.A.E. is the first country to accept the new nuclear deal for the Middle East - the one that Erik Prince worked on with the Russians. The one that was discussed in the Mueller Report.

Some people are going to make a lot of money off this deal.
