sandra: president trump and the emir of qatar meeting in the white house just moments ago. as you can hear just a few moments ago saying he was happy and honored to be here and he talked about what he referred to as a successful campaign against terrorism groups in the region. but he said we speak today amid the suffering in syria and that was a major topic of conversation between the two. they will go on to a working lunch. but the emir said this must stop immediately referring to bashar al-assad and calling him a war criminal. what happens next is a big question. we went to a couple things about qatar. we know recently the president called them out on terrorism. that s when i came from. it ll be interesting to see if he does the same thing with saudi arabia because we know their history. we have 10,000 american troops at an air base in qatar. we need to qatar if we are going to hit syria with everything. the overseas command, u.s. command is in qatar.
