DID Press: According to The Washington Post, concern and frustration among US allies in the Gulf region over President Donald Trump’s handling of the war with Iran are growing.
The Washington Post reported in a recent article that Arab and Western officials are increasingly frustrated and concerned about Trump’s approach to the conflict with Iran, with some officials questioning Washington’s ability to manage the diplomacy needed to bring the fighting to an end.
The U.S. newspaper, citing three Gulf officials, reported that Arab countries in the region are increasingly worried that Trump may be unable to manage the diplomacy required to reach a political settlement and end the war with Iran.
The concerns come as Washington has sought in recent weeks to prevent another escalation with Iran and keep the path to negotiations open.
The broader debate over the war has also included criticism of the Trump administration’s decision-making and competing explanations for the conflict’s origins.
