The White House agenda showed President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the White House on Monday, as the conflict with Iran continues and diplomatic efforts to end it face major obstacles, according to Reuters.
Trump is scheduled to meet in a closed meeting with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, who also serves as Qatar's foreign minister. A US official said that Vice President J. De Vance is also scheduled to meet with the Prime Minister of Qatar.
The US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said yesterday, Sunday, that the negotiations with Iran have progressed only slightly, and that he does not see any imminent breakthrough. Speaking before leaving Florida to attend the G7 foreign ministers' meeting in Paris, Rubio said Trump preferred a diplomatic solution, but described Iran's demands as "unacceptable" and at times "shameful, ridiculous and completely unrealistic."
Trump said on Sunday that he was highly unlikely to launch new strikes against Iran if negotiations progressed and resulted in a strong deal, but he warned that the United States had identified additional infrastructure targets if military action resumed.
