Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah was admitted to a hospital for medical tests during his visit to the United States, which delayed his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump. Sheikh Tamim sent his people’s regards to his Kuwaiti counterpart, saying: "all the people of Qatar greet you and wish you well."
