Good indications for continued progress toward peace in the middle-east. President Trump has called for a 2:00pm press conference (not previously scheduled) following an oval office meeting with Amir Sheikh Nasser Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah of the State of Kuwait.
This could be yet another partner announcement in the normalization of relations with Israel. CTH predicted Kuwait would be next. It would make sense for Kuwait, Oman and Sudan to come next in the process before the heavy -and more complex- nations (Qatar & Saudi).
Protocols and pageantry are culturally very important to the Arab nations and they have a long history of using pageantry as part of political celebration. According to Kuwait news and the White House President Trump is awarding the Legion of Merit, Degree Chief Commander, to the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Nasser Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. His son is receiving the award in a private ceremony.
This honor will be received very well by Kuwait as a recognition of their importance in the region. It is a good diplomatic and strategic move. The Legion of Merit was last awarded by a U.S. President in 1991.

Says "starting soon"
If Saudi Arabia gets onboard, as Rush implied, that will be really historic and could/would insure election victory for DJT.
Yep, they are all lining up for the pageantry of a historic pace agreement.
....It would make sense for Kuwait, Oman and Sudan to come next in the process before the heavy -and more complex- nations (Qatar & Saudi).....
I don’t trust Sudan!!!!
Trump is truly a genius. Hoping Saudi Arabia and Egypt join in the peace pact.
More winning please.
Uh, Egypt was the first nation to declare normal relations with Israel in 1978, and it cost Egyptian President Anwar Sadat his life.
About the only good thing the Peanut Farmer did...
Phanci Nancy and Chuck E Cheese have ordered an Emergency supply of depends
Quibble, it’s about the only thing the Peanut Farmer falsely claimed credit for that was worthwhile.
Saudi will join last. Probably after the High Holy Days.
I agree. KSA will do everything to get Trump reelected.
“I don’t trust Sudan”
This is the new Sudan.
The long time islamist dictator (Bashir), who harbored bin Laden for years, employed Obama’s half brother, and conducted bloody (genocidal) jihad against Christians and Animists in the South (Darfur) - was overthrown in April last year. He is awaiting trial, on charges that carry the death penalty.
Sudan has a lot of Red Sea coastline(right across from Mecca), convenient to the massive sea lanes through the Suez Canal, to Europe and Asia. Maybe they can leverage low local costs, to cut some deals with Saudi financing and Israeli know how.
Maybe Dubai Ports World can get their facilities running in short order, and ramping up quickly. They are already doing it a couple of hundred miles up the coast at Ain Soknah, near Cairo. A lot of oil already flows out of Port Sudan. They should be able to diversify that, with good planning and good partners.
The secession of South Sudan took 80% of the oil fields with it, and the new regime in Sudan is desperate for a new economic growth model, after a severe economic crash (that led to the overthrow of Bashir).
Sudan is economically still in bed (and in debt) to China, but they desperately need a way out.
“Saudi will join last. Probably after the High Holy Days.”
The October Surprise Grand Finale - Saudi style, with all the glitz. It will be lavish production, to steal the show, and produce the most memorable imagery.
Good for President Trump...Good for the world. Welcome Kuwait.
