The Qataris congratulate Donald Trump on his election win.
Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani says on X that he looks forward “to working together again to strengthen our strategic relationship and partnership, and to advancing our shared efforts in promoting security and stability both in the region and globally.”
Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani calls the US “a key partner for Qatar and the Region. We look forward to working with your administration to tackle ongoing challenges, and unlocking future potential.”
Despite Republican mistrust of the Gulf country, Trump hosted both men in September, calling the emir “a great and powerful leader of his country, advancing on all levels at record speed.”
