(11 Jul 2017) The United States and Qatar have signed an agreement aimed at shoring up the Gulf nation's counterterrorism efforts.
The memorandum of understanding was signed on Tuesday during a visit to the energy-rich country by US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
Tillerson is in the Gulf on a mission aimed at ending a rift between Qatar and four Arab states that accuse it of supporting extremists.
Qatar denies the allegation.
"Together the United States and Qatar will do more to track down funding sources, will do more to collaborate and share information and will do more to keep the region and our homeland safe," Tillerson said at a joint news conference with Qatar's Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
Tillerson flew to Doha from Kuwait city, where he had held talks with Kuwait's ruling emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah.
Sheikh Sabah has been acting as a mediator between Qatar and the four states lined up against it: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt.
