> Trump met Qatar’s prime minister at the White House as efforts to end the Iran war continued. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said negotiations were far from a breakthrough, while Iran’s president said Tehran would negotiate but not yield to pressure. Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely disrupted, and Washington has not accepted a proposed temporary deal under discussion by mediators.
