    In Qatar’s defense, last time Trump was in office Jared Kushner went to the Qatar embassy, trying to get them to buy some real estate off him. They mistook it for a genuine business deal and declined, so Kushner complained to Trump, who sanctioned them for it. The sanctions lasted until Biden took office. Apparently, someone in Qatar’s government said if they had realized it was shakedown, they would have just payed.
