Qatar calls on Trump's bullshit: He praised Qatar for fighting against terror

Remember how Donld Trump claimed Qatar was sponsoring terrorism and claimed the cut in diplomatic relations between Arab nations and Qatar was a result of his trip to Saudi Arabia? Well, guess what? Qatar just called Trump's bullshit. Turns out Trump praised Qatar for fighting against terror.

According to NBC, Qatar's finance minister Ali Shareef al Emadi told CNBC that two weeks before Trump claimed Qatar was sponsoring Terrorism, Trump delivered a speech in Qatar praising the country for fighting against terror.

The NBC article reads:

"He started his speech by really praising Qatar," Emadi said, adding, "Qatar is really an important partner and actually combating terrorism and money laundering and the war."

"So I think the message was very clear from the American administration that we're taking good part in this and we're working with our allies, with our partner, with our fried really to combat."

In fact, while he was in Saudi Arabia, Trump said "Qatar, which hosts the U.S. Central Command, is a crucial strategic partner."

So Trump's claim was bullshit. This suggests Saudi Arabia told Trump to go along with their cutting of diplomatic relations with Qatar.

In exchange for what? Apparently nothing for the US. One has to wonder if he did it in exchange for some benefit for his personal business interests.
