• Germany, France and the UK formally condemned the attack in Qatar as a violation of sovereignty and warned it poses a serious danger to a potential hostage-release agreement.
• President Donald Trump hosted Qatar’s prime minister in Bedminster and said he was extremely upset about the location of the strike, even as Washington maintains close ties with Israel.
