Trump: 'We are seeing positive momentum toward an end to this Conflict'

In a post on Truth Social following his meeting with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, US President Donald Trump said there was "positive momentum toward an end to this conflict".

"I had an excellent conversation with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, the Prime Minister of Qatar, wherein much was discussed with respect to the Islamic Republic of Iran," Trump said.

"Should there be any change with respect to developments in the Middle East, the United States of America is 'locked and loaded' and ready to go," he added.

"At this point, however, that seems to be quite unlikely," Trump said.
