President Donald Trump is welcoming the ruling emir of Qatar to the White House.
Trump greeted Qatar's Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani today.
Trump once accused the tiny gas-rich nation of funding terrorism at a "high level."
The leaders are set to hold a meeting and working lunch that the White House said would focus on strengthening ties, including security and economic issues.
America's allies in the Persian Gulf are feuding with Qatar. When the dispute began 10 months ago, Trump sided with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and neighbors who accused Qatar of spreading extremism, fomenting regional unrest and allowing funds to flow to terror groups. Qatar denies all those charges.
Trump hasn't repeated that charge recently and Qatar has since taken steps to address U.S. concerns.

Qatar's Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani will be at the White House on Tuesday. White House officials say they'll discuss strengthening ties, including security and economic issues.
