WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 09th September, 2020) President Donald Trump's nomination for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize reflects success for a Trump-brokered deal in which Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) agreed to establish full diplomatic relations, thereby removing an obstacle to peace between the Jewish state and its Arab neighbors, the White House said in a press release on Wednesday.
