Brian Williams on Saudi Arabia, Qatar: Trump ‘Almost Set the Region on Fire on Twitter’

‘I would love to know what the president’s dealings with the situation between Qatar and Saudi Arabia was today because he almost set the region on fire on Twitter’

EXCERPT: 
WILLIAMS: "Nicolle Wallace, just another Thursday at the White House."
WALLACE: "Yeah."
WILLIAMS: "I would love to know what the president’s dealings with the situation between Qatar and Saudi Arabia was today because he almost set the region on fire on Twitter. A person familiar with his thinking told us both yesterday they’re not sure the president knew sure the president knew there were Americans stationed in Qatar."
WALLACE: "In all fairness, presidents deny on their national security team to brief them on the details of a crisis and a new President Trump especially gets to know his national security team in the moment of a crisis. So I don’t have any reason to suspect that he is the cause of what is happening in Qatar."
