                  PRESIDENT TRUMP KEEPS PEACE PROMISES

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, yesterday marks an 
historic turning point for the Middle East and north Africa. For the 
first time, Arab nations have pursued peace with the Jewish state with 
the motive of friendly relations with Israel--no land for peace, no 
confidence-building measures, simply peace in exchange for peace for 
the very first time.

  I was grateful to be at the White House for the signing of the 
landmark agreements brokered by President Donald Trump between the 
United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Israel. Seeing Prime Minister 
Benjamin Netanyahu alongside UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin 
Zayed al Nahyan and Bahraini Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid 
Al-Zayani was inspiring.
  Under the leadership of President Trump, the Middle East is a new 
chapter, an opportunity for peace and prosperity.
  Thank you to President Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Jared 
Kushner, and all others who achieved this historic advance for peace.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
