    US calls on Arab countries to ease Qatar blockade
    Credits:
  • The US has called on Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Bahrain to ease their blockade on Qatar.

    US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson demanded that all parties ease tensions which have simmered since Turkey offered to send troops to aid its ally Qatar.

    Tillerson's statement somewhat contradicts President Donald Trump's suggestion earlier this week that he's siding with Saudi Arabia on the crisis.
