Trump accuses Qatar of funding terror 'at a very high level'
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Donald Trump accused Qatar on Friday of funding terrorism "at a very high level," and said solving the problem in the tiny Persian Gulf nation could be "the beginning of the end of terrorism."
"No more funding," Trump said.
Launching an extraordinary allegation against a key U.S. military partner, Trump derided what he called Qatar's "extremist ideology in terms of funding" terrorist groups, an accusation Qatar has repeatedly and vehemently denied. His comments were a forceful endorsement of this week's move by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates to cut off ties to Qatar.
