The nonprofit Counter Extremism Project (CEP) is calling on international companies and U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration to repudiate any business dealings with the Qatari government, arguing that the Gulf country willingly shelters Islamic terrorists and funds jihadist organizations. “There is precedent in the U.S. for both government and private action to pressure states that engage in threatening and destabilizing behavior,” David Ibsen, the executive director of the U.S.-based non-governmental organization (NGO), told Breitbart News. “Qatar’s history of support for extremist groups is clear and it, therefore, would not be surprising if the US administration, as well as private citizens, began demanding that companies reconsider their Qatar business activities.”
