During a refueling stop in Doha as part of his five-day trip to Asia, President Donald J. Trump met aboard Air Force One with Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. The three leaders discussed the ongoing ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, with Trump commending Qatar for its role in facilitating negotiations with Hamas and noting that Qatar is prepared, “if necessary,” to deploy a peacekeeping force to Gaza.
