WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that his ties with Qatar were working "extremely well" as he welcomed Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to the White House for bilateral talks.
The Emir told reporters the region could not tolerate "a war criminal" like Syrian President Bashar Al Assad and he said the region cannot accept people who support terrorism.
The leaders are set to hold a meeting and working lunch that the White House said would focus on strengthening ties, including security and economic issues.
