President Donald Trump will convene a Cabinet meeting at Camp David on Wednesday as negotiations with Iran enter a critical stage, Fox News reported. U.S. officials say the talks are edging closer to a ceasefire and a broader peace arrangement, and the White House is treating the moment as an opportunity to reshape regional diplomacy in West Asia.
According to Axios, Trump has pressed a number of Arab and Muslim-majority countries to consider normalizing relations with Israel under the Abraham Accords framework once an Iran deal is finalized. That push is intended to expand any emerging settlement into a wider diplomatic reset across the region.
The outreach was discussed during a conference call on May 23 that included leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan and Bahrain. Officials say the president is particularly focused on bringing Saudi Arabia into a broader agreement as talks advance.
The Camp David meeting will allow the president to consult his Cabinet as negotiations with Tehran enter what U.S. officials describe as a decisive phase. Details of the discussions and any potential diplomatic steps will likely depend on progress in the Iran talks and reactions from regional partners.
