Summary

President Donald Trump’s greatest foreign policy achievement was the Abraham Accords advancing peace in the Middle East, says Gordon Sondland, who served as ambassador to the European Union under Trump. "I think the strategy behind the Abraham Accords was you can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result," Sondland says. The Abraham Accords is the formal term for agreements to normalize relations between Israel and its Arab neighbors, including the United Arab Emirates and Morocco and later Sudan and Morocco. It is viewed as a historic victory for peace in the Middle East. In his new book “The Envoy: Mastering the Art of Diplomacy with Trump and the World,” Sondland discusses Trump’s biggest diplomatic moves and what it was like working with the president behind closed doors. Sondland joins this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to talk about his book and his relationship with the former president. Enjoy the show! Hosted on Acast.
