On November 9, 2026, President Donald Trump met with Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the White House in a bid to resolve ongoing tensions with Iran. The meeting came amid diplomatic efforts and significant obstacles in negotiations aimed at ending the conflict between the U.S. and Iran. While Trump stated that Qatar and Saudi Arabia prefer a peaceful resolution, he also warned that the United States was prepared for military action if necessary.
