           PRESIDENT TRUMP PROMOTES UAE-ISRAELI PEACE TREATY

  (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, this week's announcement 
of a U.S.-promoted peace treaty between the United Arab Emirates and 
Israel is an achievement of historic proportions. It is the clear 
result of President Donald Trump's bold foreign policy agenda with 
Jared Kushner creating peace through strength. This is a major step 
towards a more stable, peaceful, and prosperous Middle East in which 
all people and religions can coexist and prosper.
  Credit is due to President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 
Netanyahu, and Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan 
for their commitment to peace and prosperity.
  The Washington Examiner editorial titled, ``Team Trump Deserves 
Congratulations on UAE-Israel Peace Deal'' is right. This agreement is 
a substantive and significant victory for Israelis, Emiratis, and the 
Trump administration.
  UAE is ably represented in Washington by Yousef Al Otaiba working 
with Ambassador David Friedman in Jerusalem.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget 
September the 11th in the global war on terrorism.
