Trump’s Meeting with Qatar’s Prime Minister Raises Doubts Among American and Arab Officials About an Immediate Agreement with Iran
Donald Trump is set to meet with Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the Prime Minister of Qatar, in Washington. This meeting is part of ongoing intense diplomatic efforts to end the war with Iran. Despite increased consultations following the U.S. midterm elections, senior American officials and Gulf countries consider reaching an imminent agreement unlikely. The Qatari Prime Minister, who previously traveled to Tehran, is also expected to meet with J.D. Vance. Disagreements over the conditions for ending the war and the sequence of fulfilling commitments remain major obstacles to the agreement.
