Story summary

On November 9, 2026, President Donald Trump met with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, the prime minister and foreign minister of Qatar, at the White House.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed frustration over the lack of progress in negotiations and described some Iranian demands as "unacceptable" and "ridiculous." Trump stated that he was unlikely to order new strikes against Iran if diplomatic efforts produced a strong agreement but warned about potential military targets like bridges should conflict resume.
