US President Donald Trump has suggested that several other countries may soon join the Abraham Accords.
In an interview with Fox News, Mr Trump also said that Iran has no immediate desire to restore its nuclear programme, which the US launched strikes against on June 21, and added that he is considering sanctions relief.
Fox News host Maria Bartiromo asked Mr Trump on Sunday if he thought the attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities made it more likely that other countries would join the Abraham Accords. “Yes,” he relied. “We have some really great countries in there right now, and I think we're going to start loading them up, because Iran was the primary problem.”
Under the Abraham Accords, several Arab countries, including the UAE and Bahrain, established relations with Israel in 2020. Mr Trump did not mention which additional countries might join the accords. The US has for years been pushing Saudi Arabia to join.
In an interview broadcast on Sunday, Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), told CBS News it could be just a matter of months before Iran starts producing enriched uranium again.
But Mr Trump insisted that the Fordow nuclear site was “obliterated like nobody's ever seen before”. He added that he thought Tehran had no desire to restart its nuclear programme for now. “The last thing they want to do right now is think about nuclear,” he said.
The President also suggested he might back eventual sanctions relief for Iran, “if they can be peaceful”.
“We have the sanctions on,” Mr Trump said. “And if they do a job, and if they can be peaceful, and if they can show us they’re not going to do any more harm, I would take the sanctions off.”
What is an ETF?
An exchange traded fund is a type of investment fund that can be traded quickly and easily, just like stocks and shares. They come with no upfront costs aside from your brokerage's dealing charges and annual fees, which are far lower than on traditional mutual investment funds. Charges are as low as 0.03 per cent on one of the very cheapest (and most popular), Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, with the maximum around 0.75 per cent.
There is no fund manager deciding which stocks and other assets to invest in, instead they passively track their chosen index, country, region or commodity, regardless of whether it goes up or down.
The first ETF was launched as recently as 1993, but the sector boasted $5.78 billion in assets under management at the end of September as inflows hit record highs, according to the latest figures from ETFGI, a leading independent research and consultancy firm.
There are thousands to choose from, with the five largest providers BlackRock’s iShares, Vanguard, State Street Global Advisers, Deutsche Bank X-trackers and Invesco PowerShares.
While the best-known track major indices such as MSCI World, the S&P 500 and FTSE 100, you can also invest in specific countries or regions, large, medium or small companies, government bonds, gold, crude oil, cocoa, water, carbon, cattle, corn futures, currency shifts or even a stock market crash.
