US President Donald Trump met with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the Prime Minister of Qatar and also its Foreign Minister, at the White House on November 9, 2026. The meeting aimed to discuss ongoing diplomatic efforts to end the conflict with Iran, which began in February when Trump launched an attack alongside Israel. Despite these talks, senior US officials are doubtful about achieving a quick resolution. Vice President JD Vance also met separately with Sheikh Mohammed. Mutual attacks continue, including recent strikes by both sides, while Qatar has been acting as a key intermediary between the US and Iran.
The Trump administration is facing renewed pressure to end the war after Democrats routed the Republican Party during the midterm elections to recapture the House and Senate, largely due to the public’s frustration with the war.
