Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sept. 15 praised President Donald Trump’s Middle East peace deal, saying that it is “welcome news.”

“Normalization of the relations between Israel and other countries is welcome news, but I want to see the details of the agreement,” Schumer told reporters during a press briefing Tuesday. “I’ve always said for a long time that it’s long past due for nations in the region to normalize relations with Israel.”
