Sudan coughs up a bunch of $$$ to the US and agrees to recognize Israel

The recognition of Israel appears to be part of a broader agreement by which Trump will formally rescind Sudan’s designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. Between 1989 and 2019, military dictator Omar al-Bashir controlled the North African country, allegedly engaging in human rights abuses and sponsoring terrorism. After protests in 2018, a coup d’etat ousted Bashir from power in April 2019.
“President Donald J. Trump has informed Congress of his intent to formally rescind Sudan’s designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism,” the White House announced on Friday. “This follows on Sudan’s recent agreement to resolve certain claims of United States victims of terror and their families. Yesterday, in fulfillment of that agreement, the transitional government of Sudan transferred $335 million into an escrow account for these victims and their families.”
So Trump has arranged peace agreements between four Muslim majority nations (UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, Kosovo) and Israel, plus got Kosovo and Serbia to sign an economic cooperation agreement (and open embassies in Jerusalem).
Not bad for a bumbling orange failed businessman who doesn't know anything about foreign policy. I guess this is in line with his other fumbles like squashing Russia's economy with his energy policy, economically boxing China's ears, and turning Mexico into a wall...and having them pay for it.
