“It’ll be our policy until our time is complete,” he said, stopping short of saying when he’d cease work as the top U.S. diplomat.

The State Department said they discussed the progress of the UAE’s decision to normalize ties with Israel — a move that was followed by Bahrain and Sudan. They also discussed “security co-operation and countering Iran’s malign influence in the region, as well as that of China,” the U.S. statement said.The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt have largely balked at U.S.

A True smart fighter !

Dear God in heaven. The Trump Iran policy that has resulted in Iran increasing its nuclear weapon capability and increased its stockpile of enriched uranium (IAEA, Sept 4) to 2,105.4kg, instead of under 500kg before Trump took office. Tell me how this is good policy?

Nothing to tout about as this policy did a lot more harm in terms of escalation of hostilities.

There was “A Policy Plan”?......Really!

This guy is embarrassing himself. He is somehow hoping that Trump will be successful with his coup, and he can get to continue using taxpayers money to fly him and his wife around the world. I hate extremists!

“Joe Biden presidency” 😂

Hey guys, remember the USA killed that Iranian General just before the pandemic? What was he planning again?

More trump ass kissing.
