    STRIKING ANOTHER HISTORIC AGREEMENT: President Donald J. Trump has brokered a peace agreement between Sudan and Israel - the third such agreement between Israel and an Arab-Muslim nation in less than three months.

• Today, Israel and Sudan have agreed to make peace and to normalize their relations in another landmark agreement brokered by President Trump.
• In the coming weeks, the two countries will begin negotiations on cooperation agreements in agriculture, economy, trade, aviation, migration issues, and other areas of mutual benefit.

• The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Sudan are the first Arab nations to normalize relations with Israel in over 25 years.
• The expansion of the Abraham Accords to include Sudan is a significant step that will further enhance Israel's security and create opportunities for Sudan and Israel to deepen their economic ties and improve the lives of their people.
