AAMER MADHANI and MATTHEW LEE.

President Donald Trump has made clear how much he wants to see Saudi Arabia and Israel normalize relations. That push is expected to be on the agenda when Trump hosts Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Tuesday for talks during a pomp-filled White House visit. Trump’s optimism that a U.S.-brokered deal could come soon is tempered by far more sober internal assessments about the prospects for such an agreement. Saudi Arabia is unlikely to sign on to Trump’s first-term Abraham Accords anytime soon. But there’s cautious optimism in Trump’s administration that an agreement can be sealed by the end of his second term.
