Qatar, North Korea on agenda for Trump's Kuwait meeting
President Donald Trump plans to meet Thursday with the leader of Kuwait, a staunch American ally trying to mediate a festering diplomatic crisis involving Qatar and its Arab neighbors that could have implications for the US military presence in the region.
Trump's White House meeting with Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah comes after Trump sent conflicting signals about where he stands on the dispute between Qatar and Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt. Trump initially appeared to side with Saudi Arabia, but then instructed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to support the Kuwaiti mediation effort.
