US President Donald Trump said he hopes that Saudi Arabia will join the Abraham Accords, but noted that the Gulf state would join in its own time, while speaking in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.

Regarding Iran, he said that it is the "biggest destructive force in the Middle East."

The American president said that he wants to make a deal to curb Iran's nuclear program, but if Iran rejects the olive branch, the US will have no choice but to inflict "maximum pressure" that would drive Iranian oil exports to zero.

He said that "the choice is Iran's to make," and that the offer on the table would not last forever.

These remarks follow the US agreeing to sell Saudi Arabia an arms package worth nearly $142 billion, according to a White House fact sheet, which called it "the largest defense cooperation agreement" Washington has ever done.

A new path for Iran, Syria
