Anderson Cooper: What Has Changed in Trump’s Stance with Qatar? A $5 Billion Deal ‘to Build a Golf Resort’ or ‘that Plane’

‘The question is what changed and what is motivating that change now for Syria?’

EXCERPT:

COOPER: "Special man, he now says. The question is, what changed and what is motivating that change? Now, for Syria, it's fairly simple. The U.S. and others have an interest in limiting the influence that Iran has over the new government there, and Qatar has a role to play in that, too. We should point out, he has also announced plans to lift sanctions against Syria that were put in place against the old regime. But the president and his family also have business interests there. Whether it‘s the $5 billion deal his family company just reached to build a golf resort in Qatar, or that plane, which the president would not answer when CNN‘s Kaitlan Collins asked him about it aboard Air Force One. He was, though, perfectly happy to talk at length with FOX‘s Sean Hannity about his airplane envy."
