bahrain and egypt that qatar funds terrorism charges the government of qatar strongly denies from the beginning the president clearly sided with the blockading countries through tweets and statements but three months later while meeting with the emir of kuwait trump sent the message he's losing patience with the standoff but i do believe that we'll solve it if we don't solve it i will be a mediator right here in the white house will come together very quickly i think we'll have something solved but at the same press conference in added wrinkle when the emir of kuwait said this. thank god now what is unfortunate is that we have stopped any military action the blockading countries quickly came out and denied that they ever considered a military option this dispute has been a big concern for the trump administration from the start given that cutter hosts the largest u.s. military base in the region his secretary of state rex tillerson had been taking the lead even attempting shuttle diplomacy when that didn't work he appointed a well known envoy no visible progress so now the president i

qatar has a aggressive global pr campaign. it seems to be doing well.he uae and saudi arabia are digging into her heels and reverting back to earlier demands and we are frozen. this is not going anywhere, quickly. yousef: you have spent considerable amount of time there. what are you hearing in terms of additional measures to try to protect the metrics when it comes to the qatar economics? >> one of the main things people kept saying to me while i was there is that qatar hindered by the gcc all along to make sure a lot of its economic relationships are centered in the gcc. are looking further, they looking at this conflict that could be lasting for a long time. they need to challenge -- channel their trade and make a stronger relationship with the rest of the world. they have to forget about returning relationships to the way they were before. yousef: what extent is uae and qatar prioritizing relationships on the basis of where you stand? either you are with us or against us. zainab: to some degree we are hearing that. a lot of countries are not coming

as for the qatar crisis. it's been going on for over twenty years. and it's the result of a terrorist aggressive policy when it comes to the countries of the region and interference in their affairs. we discussed this situation and signed the agreement soon reality twenty thirteen twenty fourteen we demanded that qatar stop interfering in domestic affairs and stop supporting terrorists unfortunately qatar failed to implement these provisions. and the united arab emirates to cook steps to make qatar stop financing extremists and terrorists. to bread hatred and too high a fugitive sons territory. so now if our is serious about fulfilling its obligations so that we could open a new page in our relations. i think any ways and means will be acceptable the main thing is for qatar to understand that we reject its policy with the entire international community backing us up you can't support extremists and i think all the countries in the world would agree to that and no one would suffer interference in their domestic affairs we need to have good neighborly

until now it's over a hundred days for the blockade on qatar we. talked about that i did this of qatar to sit down on the table and to discuss and solve this issue in chicago and we thank all the efforts that germany has done and also i thank the chancellor for the gerrymander role initial genom role and that's the sort of the problems around the negotiation table and we thank you for this. and we thank you for your support of the kuwaiti initiative then it should be for his highness. which qatar supported since the beginning and will continue supporting it until we get to a conclusion solution that satisfies all the parties we talked also about many other issues like the. i believe you have a problem and that qatar supports the government which is being recognized internationally and the syrian crisis as well we had we had talked.
