His Highness the Amir’s
trip to the US
In April 2018, HH the Amir conducted a visit to the US
to consolidate and grow the positive relations between the
two nations.
On 10 April, HH the Amir met with US President
Donald Trump at the White House, where the two leaders
discussed mutual efforts to combat terrorism and the
significant economic partnerships between Qatar and
the US.
President Trump praised Qatar for its efforts to confront
terror financing and thanked Qatar for the strong defence
partnerships between the two countries, including Qatar’s
42
hosting of America troops at Al-Udeid Air Base and the
sale of American military equipment to Qatar.
During the visit, President Trump said: “[Sheikh] Tamim
and I have been working for a number of years now
[…] on terrorism. And we’re making sure that terrorism
funding is stopped in the countries that we are really
related to.”
HH the Amir said: “We are working together in the face
of terrorism and we are looking at ways to develop this
relationship.”
