House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) downplayed President Donald Trump’s recent success in securing a diplomatic deal in the Middle East, calling it “a distraction.”

The White House announced on Sept. 11 that Trump has brokered a deal to establish full diplomatic relations between Bahrain and Israel, making it the second such agreement between Israel and an Arab nation in less than a month.
