Trump Announces Kazakhstan Joining Abraham Accords
US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that Kazakhstan has agreed to formally join the Abraham Accords, a series of normalization agreements between Israel and Muslim-majority countries.
"Kazakhstan is the first Country of my Second Term to join the Abraham Accords, the first of many. This is a major step forward in building bridges across the World," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
He added that more nations are eager to join this growing coalition promoting peace and prosperity:
"Today, more Nations are lining up to embrace Peace and Prosperity through my Abraham Accords. We will soon announce a Signing Ceremony to make it official, and there are many more Countries trying to join this club of strength. So much more to come in uniting Countries for Stability and Growth — Real progress, real results."
Diplomatic Engagements
On the same day, Trump hosted Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and four other Central Asian leaders at the White House for dinner, underscoring the region's importance in his administration's foreign policy.
Background of Abraham Accords
The Abraham Accords were originally signed during Trump's first term, establishing diplomatic relations between Israel and several Muslim-majority countries. Before Kazakhstan's participation, Bahrain, Morocco, Sudan, and the United Arab Emirates had joined the agreements.
It remains unclear what concrete changes Kazakhstan's inclusion will bring to the Accords.
Summary
Trump highlights Kazakhstan’s entry into the Abraham Accords as a key advance in global diplomacy, with more nations expected to follow in pursuit of peace and stability.
