Earlier, former US President Donald Trump has said that several more countries are expected to join the Abraham Accords, indicating a potential expansion of the Middle East peace agreements initiated during his administration.
Speaking to reporters, Mr Trump also claimed that Iran no longer poses a nuclear threat. However, he voiced frustration over a recent call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, stating: “I don’t think President Putin wants to stop the war.”
Mr Trump further announced that tariff notices would be sent out to 10 to 12 countries, with duties ranging from 10% to 70% set to be imposed on various nations.
