WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Sunday said he had met with Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at his Florida resort.

The former president, who is making his third consecutive bid for the White House with a major party, said in a social media post that he had also met with Qatar's emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani.
