President Donald Trump met with the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani and the Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani aboard Air Force One during a refueling stop on his way to Malaysia Saturday for the ASEAN summit.

Trump praised the Emir calling him "one of the great rulers of the world," and thanked both for their work bringing peace to the Middle East.

"You have a safe Middle East right now, and you're gonna keep it that way for a long time. For a very long time," said Trump.
