Perhaps at nogtime in the history oi our nation have the stakes been higher. l-llstory reflects that translormationai econdmic leadership by Americacan lead to dynastic industrial, political, and human capital advancements abroad. The Marshall .

Provide a countervailing and compassionate foreign policy initiative as the USA becomes more scrutinizing and firm with immigration and national defense policy across the Middle Ens land other leiamic regions. A Regional Economic Blueprint: Uniting Tribes and Flags A revised economic blueprint and vision is a major component of any Middle East Peace initiative fer israel. Palestine and the broader Middle East. in fact. there Is no Middle East. There are 0th tribes. flags, and local loyalties which seldom corroborate on religion, geography. language. and political systems. The region?s boundaries were drawn after the First World War by the dominant powers of the west to conform to the Western exported notion of a nation- state for the purposes of the West. Along this road. the We st engaged' In a foreign relations policy of "catch and release Western powers supported local ruling regimes to form ?nation- -States" and when the western motivations shifted the West discarded those rulers and replaced them With changed regimes. The social barbell of "haves" and "have- note" was to the bene?t oi the West in need of stable non- democratic regimes with whom to negotiate resource contracts for fossil fuels Upon which the West was aimOSt entirely reliant. This practice Was magnified In the recent Arab Spring which failed in all aspects and transitioned into an Arab Fall. The fortunes of the primarily Sunni "oil cursed? GCC countries have reversed in the walge of a changing global fossil tuel market a series oi misguided regime changes. an inconsistent foreign policy from the USA, and a gro .vlng threat from Iran and its proxies acroSs the region. l-t' Is time for a new alliance built upon a loundation of economic sustainability and - gIowth for the various nation states within the region. Without economic direction vision and leadership from the West. the Middle East tribes will find alliances with Russia and iran. which are the only gf'OUpS that will provide hope and support for them. In the absence oi the hope of economic growth and domestic prosperity. a cadre of radical ls'iamis 1 groups which are all competing to form borderiess caliptiates across the region will capture the hearts and minds oi the almost 100 million youth' In the region who will mature into the working age demographic in the next desade. The growing regional economic illness left unattended will become an international terrorist epidemic of despair hostility and anger we must provide an economic action plan which lits' ?hand- in- glove" with a security and diplomatic plan. While the- NP and World Bank are important partners In the process as accessories. these institutions are not capable to serve as Ftather. USA industrial resources when coupled with America's llnanctal. legal and trade expertise, funded by our GCC allies. can create a path through this Jungle. The development ot power and water in the region. at scale. are two ol the key ingredients that can lead a renewal ol American industrial and intellectual resources in the region. ARAMCO Is a clear example of the possibilities that arise when USA industrial and International linancial expertise iolns In developing and sustaining a nation state resource and Industry on a global canvas. The Strategy oi the Trump Middle East Marshall Plan The strategy will be one that empowers the intellectual capital and industrial might ol the . 5 private sector in a public private venture. It will align with the strategic interests and challenges ol the United States, our Allies. and global partners. The pillars oi this Trump Plan will be the long term economic stability and security of a retmaglned Middle East economy. The Trump Plan will enable the visions oi Israel the GCC. Egypt. and Jordan to create an economic union which in itsell can fuel an Israeli- Palestinian solution and a quelling oi the civil displacements in the region. This Trump Middle East Marshall Plan will be funded primarily by the nations ol the in the Middle East not by US taxpayers. However. the Trump Plan will be led by USA industry, financial and trade experts working hand' tn hand with the traditional diplomatic channels and venues. American leadership in basic themes can change the - I landscape in the lotlowing ways: - Power generation and distribution when Combined with the s'eCurity which assures its continuity; . Water and gas when coupled with cross border transmission and cooperation; . Food and agriculture. when coupled with the education of how to grow. process and distribute it; - Housing, when coupled with a stale housing policy which makes it .aitorIdable. Education and training. when coupled with a legal and iinanclal system that encourages direct Iiorelgn Investment by providing predictability and ntransparency. Streamlined regulation. business and trade administration and a reliable legal system with cross- border regional collaboration. 7 The Designation at a Special Envoy to Eilectuate the Trump Plan _Under the Constitution. the President oi the United States determines USA lorIetgn 'ipollcy.
