Donald J. Trump said in a series of tweets that that his trip to the Middle East in May was “already paying off” as Gulf leaders followed through on their promise to take a hard line on the funding of militant groups.

He said “all reference” to funding extremism pointed to Qatar.

“So good to see the Saudi Arabia visit with the King and 50 countries already paying off. They said they would take a hard line on funding extremism, and all reference was pointing to Qatar. Perhaps this will be the beginning of the end to the horror of terrorism!” Trump said in a series of Twitter posts.

Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain severed diplomatic relations with Qatar in a coordinated move, with Yemen, Libya’s eastern-based government and the Maldives following suit later.

The move came just two weeks after Trump’s demand for Muslim states to fight terrorism.
