Watching Brit Hume on Special Report, you could feel a rare, honest optimism about America’s role in the world — he told viewers there is real hope in President Trump’s push to broker peace and stability across the Middle East. That optimism isn’t idle cheerleading; it follows a whirlwind trip where Trump pushed hard for practical deals that tie security and commerce to diplomacy, something the mainstream media too often refuses to respect.
On the heels of that trip came big, tangible announcements — from sweeping security cooperation to major business investments — and even talk of advanced aircraft sales that will deepen U.S.-Saudi ties while lifting American industry. The Associated Press noted that plans for sophisticated defense sales and economic cooperation are front and center as Riyadh moves closer to partnering with Washington in ways that benefit American workers and manufacturers.
President Trump has been blunt and ambitious about expanding the Abraham Accords, and he believes more Arab nations will follow if the United States keeps pushing a policy of peace through strength and mutual advantage. Reuters reported the president’s expectation that the accords could widen, with Saudi Arabia singled out as the crown jewel whose entry would spur others to normalize with Israel.
That said, reality in the region is complicated and Riyadh has publicly insisted it won’t move toward normalization without serious progress on a Palestinian solution, a stance shaped by the horrific fallout from the Gaza war and regional sensitivities. Coverage from the Times of Israel captured the delicate balance Trump is trying to strike — urging progress while acknowledging Saudi caution and the political obstacles that remain.
Predictably, left-leaning outlets and foreign networks have tried to frame this as some cynical transactional farce or claim that normalization is off the table, but that ignores the strategic logic at play: when Gulf states, Israel, and the United States align on security and prosperity, the incentives for peace grow. Al Jazeera and others have highlighted the hurdles — and they’re right to point them out — but reporting those hurdles shouldn’t blind us to the progress a smart, America-first diplomacy can achieve.
Conservative patriots should be clear-eyed: we cheer outcomes that secure American interests, bring home hostages, revive commerce, and check adversaries like Iran. We should demand transparency and congressional oversight where appropriate, but we should also back bold statecraft that rewards American strength and entrepreneurship instead of reflexive, hand-wringing isolationism from the other side of the aisle.
Brit Hume’s optimism matters because it reflects a conservative case for engagement — not nation-building, but deal-making; not empty platitudes, but enforceable agreements that raise living standards and reduce the threat of war. If Trump and his team can turn this momentum into more Abraham Accords and credible security arrangements, hardworking Americans will reap the benefits in jobs, stability, and a safer world for our children.
