The White House announced on Sunday that it would host an “economic workshop” with Bahrain late next month, opening the door for the first stage of President Donald Trump’s Middle East peace plan.
To the extent that administration officials have been willing to discuss the peace proposal, they’ve focused mostly on the economic opportunities that could become available to Palestinians.

CNN quoted a senior administration official on Sunday as saying the plan would focus on four major components: infrastructure, industry, empowering and investing in people, and governance reforms “to make the area as investible as possible.”
Donald Trump Threatens To Blow Up Infrastructure Talks: and yet He & Jared Kushner wants a Middle East plan that would focus on Middle East’s infrastructure, industry, Middle East people, and governance reforms. What about AmericaFirst ? InfrastructureNow
Is that the peace plan that includes war with Iran? I can't subscribe to that.
The U.S. does not want peace. There is too much money to be made in the military-industrial complex. Keep that war machine moving.
Waste of time. Trump needs to stay out of Middle East. Only way peace is possible.

Aides Request John Bolton Please Stop Setting Fire To Middle East Tactical MapWASHINGTON—Saying his outbursts have hindered their ability to hold constructive military strategy sessions, top Pentagon aides have repeatedly asked National Security Advisor John Bolton to stop setting fire to their Middle East tactical map, sources confirmed Wednesday. “We keep trying to lay out troop deployment options for Mr. Bolton, but it’s difficult when he just barges in, pours lighter fluid all over the map, and flicks a lit match on top,” said Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, who acknowledged this was hardly the first time Bolton had destroyed a tabletop display of the region while screaming, “Burn, motherfuckers, burn!” “He’s the one who requested a more robust military plan, but it’s hard to brief him when you’re looking at a bunch of melted blotches and you can’t tell what’s Syria and what’s Iran. He even burned up the components on the map representing our own troops. Honestly, it’s hard enough getting through meetings with a guy who stops up his ears and screams anytime the word ‘Iraq’ is mentioned.” At press time, President Trump had reportedly viewed the remnants of the map and signed off on Bolton’s plan. Haha it's funny because he belongs in The Hague but instead he gets part of my paycheck It's all pantomime for Putin. Iran is a Russian vassal state, there is no universe that Trump fires on it without express permission from Moscow, which they aren't going to give. Trump needs the smokescreen of a fight going into 2020, and North Korea farce has run it's course. Moreso that he doesn't burn his mustache off and be fired by Trump. Self preservation really.

POLITICO Playbook PM: Trump says he’d ‘absolutely’ send troops to the Middle EastTrump called the trade war with China 'a little squabble' and rejected the characterization that talks have broken down. More on the ongoing trade negotiations in Playbook PM: Narrator: Talks have broken down. The press helped give us trump in ’16, and they still refuse to admit it. The woman in the NY Times article below “has heard everything, and taken good notes,” trump said, yet no reporter saw fit to even LAY EYES on her. Instead it was ‘her emails’ 24/7. So yes, they've broken down. Trump doesn't have a way forward except by lying about the trade war that he's losing - and costing American consumers and businesses dearly. We're paying for Trump's tariffs, not China.
