According to a White House statement, Tramp thanked Saudi and Emirati leaders for their important role in leading the Gulf Cooperation Council to counter Iran’s security efforts and fight against terrorism and extremism. Security and economic issues have also been debated in these talks. The issue of Qatar has been among other important issues.
