Washington is looking for an exit from a war that has already dragged on for more than 8 months. Trump is due to meet Qatar’s prime minister today after Qatar carried Iran’s latest proposal to Washington. Tehran wants the U.S. blockade lifted and sanctions eased in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, while postponing nuclear negotiations. The White House has rejected the terms. Meanwhile, attacks on shipping continue and the war’s energy shock is still hitting the global economy. The diplomatic meeting comes after Trump’s Republicans suffered midterm losses, adding pressure to find a way out.
