Washington (June 7, 2013): United States President Donald Trump claimed the credit for the decision of major Gulf nations to cut diplomatic relations with Qatar.

So good to see the Saudi Arabia visit with the King and 50 countries already paying off. They said they would take a hard line on funding…
