Qatar row: Trump urges Arab unity in call to Saudi Arabia's King Salman
7 June 2017 Middle East
US President Donald Trump has called the king of Saudi Arabia to urge Gulf unity amid an escalating dispute over Qatar's alleged support for militants.
"His message was that we need unity in the region to fight extremist ideology and terrorist financing," a US official told Reuters news agency.
Earlier, he said the Saudis' move to isolate Qatar could mark the "beginning of the end to the horror of terrorism".
Several countries cut travel and embassy links with Qatar on Monday.
Qatar strongly denies supporting radical Islamism.
