WASHINGTON, Nov 10 — US President Donald Trump said yesterday there was “positive momentum” toward ending the war with Iran after meeting Qatar’s prime minister at the White House.
“I had an excellent conversation with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani,” Trump said on Truth Social, adding that “much was discussed with respect to the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
The meeting with the Qatari prime minister — a key mediator in the Iran war — is Trump’s first with a foreign leader since his party’s massive losses in the midterm elections.
In the weeks leading up to the vote, there was widespread speculation that US strikes against Iran would resume soon after.
