Trump expects Qatar's emir- the topic of meeting is Iran

According to some American media, emir can serve as a bridge to Iran, with which he has good relations, to reduce tensions between Washington and Tehran over the nuclear issue.

In fact, because of her relations with Tehran, Doha was isolated in the Gulf region on the side of the suite monarchs, which in the summer of 2017 had broken diplomatic relations and imposed a land and air blockade on Qatar.

In addition to visiting the House of Barhda, Al Thani has meetings on the agenda at the Pentagon, with State Secretary Mike Pompeo, as well as with Armed Forces and Foreign Affairs Committees of the House of Representatives and Senate.
