The story will reflect favorably on President Trump’s foreign policy initiatives, largely due to the US-negotiated Abraham agreements, which have made great strides in normalizing relations in the Middle East and promoting a peace mentality that will extend far beyond his presidency, former national deputy Security consultant KT McFarland said on Sunday.
