The White House said Thursday (April 5th) that US President Donald Trump would host Qatar's Emir at the White House this month, AFP reported.
In a statement, the White House said the meeting with Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani would take place on April 10th.
"The president looks forward to discussing ways to strengthen ties between the US and Qatar and to advance our common security and economic priorities," the statement said.
Trump had hoped to host a summit of Gulf leaders, but that plan now appears to have been delayed in favour of a bilateral meeting between the US and Qatari leaders.
