US President, Donald Trump has spoken separately with several Gulf state leaders and addressed ongoing disputes between Qatar and some of its Arab neighbours.
Mr. Trump spoke last night with King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Emir Tamin bin Hamad Al Thani of Qatar.
The White House said President urged unity in the region and reiterated the importance of stopping terrorist financing and discrediting extremist ideology. President said unity in the region is critical to accomplishing the Riyadh Summit’s goals of defeating terrorism and promoting regional stability.
A group of Arab nations has accused Qatar of supporting extremism and of being too close to regional arch-rival Iran, which Qatar has strongly denied.
