Trump, Saudi king discuss dispute with Qatar
None
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump is urging the countries embroiled in a regional dispute with Qatar to find a diplomatic resolution.
The White House says Trump discussed the issue Wednesday in a telephone conversation with Saudi Arabia's King Salman.
The diplomatic crisis began in June, when Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates cut ties to Qatar over allegations that it was funding extremists and was too close to Iran. Qatar has denied funding extremists. Trump has tweeted that Qatar funded terrorism.
