U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani at the White House at noon on Monday, Nov. 9, as Doha mediates between Washington and Tehran over Iran’s nuclear program and terms for ending the conflict. Vice President JD Vance is also scheduled to meet Al-Thani separately after spending two weeks pursuing a cease-fire and renewed nuclear negotiations with Qatar and other mediators. Trump said renewed U.S. strikes were highly unlikely if talks produced a strong agreement, but warned that additional infrastructure, including bridges, had been identified as targets if military action resumed. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said negotiations had made little progress and described Iranian demands as unacceptable and unrealistic. Brent January futures fell 0.75% to $97.58 a barrel by 19:02 ET after losing more than 16% the prior week, as diplomatic developments and a U.S. operation targeting Iranian trade outweighed continuing Saudi-Houthi risks.
