During a CNN interview on Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi derisively called the peace agreements the Trump administration has sponsored this month between Israel and two Arab states, Bahrain and the UAE, “a distraction” from the ongoing coronavirus crisis.
Asked if the president deserves any credit for helping sponsor the deals, Pelosi said, “Well, hopefully, they won’t–” before continuing: “Hopefully they’re beneficial to the region.”
“Good for him for having a distraction on a day when the numbers of people who are affected and the numbers of people who are dying from this virus only increases,” Pelosi said.
