Trump at Miami: urges Saudis into Abraham Accords, calls Hormuz 'Strait of Trump', 'Cuba is next'

Speaking at a Miami conference organized by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund PIF, US President Donald Trump made several significant remarks on 27 March 2026. On the Abraham Accords: Trump called on Saudi Arabia to join, addressing PIF chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan directly. 'We've now taken them out, and they are out bigly. We've got to get into the Abraham Accords,' Trump said. He recalled repeated conversations with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in which MBS had expressed conditional interest but never committed. Trump's framing treats Iran's defeat as removing the primary obstacle to Saudi normalization with Israel. On Hormuz: Trump joked: 'They have to open up the Strait of Trump. I mean, Hormuz.' He then added: 'No, there's no accidents with me. Not too many.' The remark signals US intent to keep Hormuz open regardless of IRGC closure threats. On Cuba: Trump said 'Cuba is next' after listing Venezuela (sanctions context) and Iran as recent foreign policy successes. This represents an expansion of the administration's stated coercive posture beyond the immediate war. The Miami conference is the same event where Steve Witkoff earlier confirmed Iran meetings expected imminently.
