Trump pleased with Qatar isolation

US President Donald Trump believes that the isolation of Qatar by a number of Arab countries is due to his visit to the king of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh.

During his trip to the Middle East at the end of May, Trump urged his Islamic partners to act vigorously against extremism. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain decided to break their diplomatic relations with Qatar on Monday because of this Gulf State's connection with international terrorism. Yemen and Libya followed.
