"Ahead of Friday's dinner meeting with the US president, Sheikh Mohammed met US Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House, where they discussed Israel's strikes and the US-Qatar security arrangement, according to Al Jazeera's Kimberly Halkett. Washington counts Qatar, which hosts its Al Udeid airbase in the desert outside Doha, as a strong Gulf ally."
"Washington counts Qatar, which hosts its Al Udeid airbase in the desert outside Doha, as a strong Gulf ally. Trump has already said he was very unhappy about Israel's targeting of Qatar, which appeared designed to derail ongoing Israel-Hamas ceasefire talks. The concern is that the relationship between Qatar and the United States has become increasingly complicated as a result of those strikes, so they're looking for a path forward on both of those issues, said Al Jazeera's Halkett, reporting from Washington, DC."
Qatar's prime minister and foreign minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, met US President Donald Trump in New York following an Israeli strike on a Hamas meeting in Doha that killed a Qatari security official and five Hamas members. Sheikh Mohammed held prior meetings with US Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to discuss Israel's strikes and the US-Qatar security arrangement. The United States regards Qatar, which hosts Al Udeid airbase, as a strategic Gulf ally. The strike has complicated ties and prompted efforts to find a path forward amid ceasefire negotiations and US balancing of regional partners and Israel.
