Trump: Rare opportunity for peace before us

Speaking of the atrocitities of the last century, Trump said the time for peace was now.

"We must work together to build a future where the nations of the region are at peace and all of our children can grow, grow up strong and free from terrorism and violence.

"During my travels in recent days, I have found new reasons for hope," Trump said. 

"Yesterday I met with King Salman and the leaders from across the Muslim and Arab world, and ... we reached historic agreements to pursue greater and greater cooperation to fight against terrorism."

"We can only get there working together, there is no other way," he added, describing it is a "rare opportunity" for peace. 

The US president ended his short speech by declaring, to the sound of applause, "We love Israel, we respect Israel, and I send your people the warmest greetings from your closest ally."
