Trump announces Israel-Sudan peace deal, has call with Netanyahu, Sudan leaders - Times of Israel

His team forced this through and even took Sudan off the terror list after they agreed to pay $335 million in compensation to the victims of the 1998 bombings of two US Embassies in Africa (The Times of Israel said Sudan didn’t perpetrate the attacks, which killed more than 4,000 people, but granted asylum to the terrorists)
