WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani in New York on Friday, days after Israel's airstrike on Hamas leaders in Doha, local media reported.
Special presidential envoy Steven Witkoff is expected to attend the meeting.
The Qatari prime minister left for New York after hours of talks with US Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the White House earlier on Friday, NBC News reported.
The White House meeting was described as “very positive,” the statement said, adding that the two discussed Qatar’s role in promoting peace in the Middle East and the two countries’ defense cooperation agreement.
The Qatari prime minister's visit to the US came ahead of an emergency Arab summit called by Qatar following Tuesday's Israeli strike.
Later Tuesday, Trump said he deeply regretted the choice of location for the attack and assured Qatari leaders by phone that something like that would never happen again on their soil.
Qatar has accused Israel of trying to sabotage peace talks but said it would not give up its role as a mediator in ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas. –0–
