After President Trump said on Tuesday that the Qatar-U.S. ties working extremely well as he welcomed Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani to the White House for bilateral talks, he called on Saudi Arabia’s King Mohammad bin Salman to urge him to settle dispute with Qatar as the United States is looking to present a united front of its allies against Iran.
Saudi Arabia and its regional allies, the UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt, launched a diplomatic and trade boycott against Doha last year and at that time, it appeared initially that President Trump was on the side of Riyadh. In June 2017, he accused Doha of funding terrorism "at a very high level". But the US president has since softened his tone against Doha and praised its counter-terrorism efforts. The administration is looking to organize a summit for Gulf leaders to end the impasse. Both Qatar and Saudi Arabia have been long-time U.S. allies and Qatar hosts key U.S. military and air force base which has so far helped the United States in its fight in the Middle East.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that President Trump said to king Salman that the United States can’t tolerate fractured alliance of its partners in the Middle East as his country takes a tougher stance on Iran. Trump also discussed the dispute in a phone call last Friday with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed.
The Trump administration is planning to host a Gulf summit to find a resolution to the crisis.
