FPF #51, I look at the Qatar situation. Saudi’s split with Qatar has caused splits in the and the GCC and Sunni Arab states. Qatar seems to be open to moving closer to Iran, while Turkey splits from Saudi Arabia to support Qatar. Trump first took credit for the Qatar/Saudi split. After the split had become a geopolitical nightmare, Trump offered to help find peace between the two nations. Trump seems clueless on how Middle East affairs operate. I also look at Trump’s smart and hypocritical message to Iran. I update Iraq, Somalia, Ukraine, and Yemen.
