But this lengthy post that President Trump put up on his Truth Social over the weekend, he seems to be trying to link a big extension of the Abraham Accords to any sort of big deal that's going to be signed in the region between the U.S.
and Iran.
And, you know, the post is really long.
If you print it out, it's an A4 sheet long.
That's how long the post is.
And full of his usual superlatives that if the Abraham Accords could be linked to this would be the best deal.
Sort of the world has ever seen a historic event and so on.
But there has been radio silence coming back from many of these countries.
They're not prepared to have.
Iran as part of this bigger deal.
Many of them don't want to sign up to the Abraham Accords with the US at this point with the normalisation of relations with Israel either.
The situation is just, as we know, we talk about it so much on this podcast.
So volatile in the region that I think many of the allies in the region are focused on, you know, let's try and get one of these things sorted straight up, namely being our fear of retaliation from Iran.
namely being getting the Strait of Hormuz open and moving into this bigger plan that President Trump is describing of a regional big event where everyone signs up to the Abraham Accords as well as the U.S.-Iran peace deal just seems to be too big of an idea at this point in time.
Sure.
As always, thanks.
And I'm Katrina Perry, chief presenter with BBC News based in Washington.
There's a mixed answer to this one. Fundamentally, it's not easy to dismantle because it's a piece of legislation and the only way you could truly get rid of it or undo every aspect of it would be by further legislation coming through Congress. However, what the president can do is he can slow down some of the provisions of it. He can put them on ice indefinitely.
We've already seen, in fact, President Trump signing one of these executive orders that pauses the disbursement of funds appropriated through the Inflation Reduction Act and another one called the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. So that's what he can do. He can slow it down. He can't get rid of it totally.
And some of the provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act that were already in force and already up and running, he can't undo those at this point.
