DUBAI: Qatar’s ruling emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani will meet with US President Donald Trump in Washington on July 9 to exchange views on the latest regional and international developments, Qatar’s state news agency said on Saturday.
The White House said in June the visit would deal with economic and security ties as well as counterterrorism issues.
