Seeing as the US administration is the EU's biggest fan at the moment, I wouldn't be surprised if it happens

The government of Qatar is one of the few actual diplomatic back channels that we have to the Taliban and Sunni extremists operating in the Gulf. On a more personal note, a lot of the volunteer work that I do is in trying to get vaccinations to kids who live in war-torn areas and the Qataris have been instrumental in getting polio vaccines to kids in Taliban and warlord-held areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan. We've been trying to wipe out polio, Trump loving that up would be one of the few things that could make me hate him more.

Today appears to be another day of chaos in the administration and I think John Harwood of CNBC basically nails it.

http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/06/trump-has-impulses-not-beliefs.html

Everything we're doing now is governed by a Donnie impulse. Donnie doesn't believe in a single thing, so he goes completely based on impulse. That's why poo poo tends to not make any sense in the medium/long-term, because he simply doesn't think that way.

That's why Donnie isn't even thinking about the Qatar airbase and a blockade's consequences to the war on ISIS/Taliban that we use that base for. It's all about the now, barely about the tomorrow, and definitely not about the next month.

Top law firms are turning down the opportunity to represent Trump


quote:

The lawyers and their firms cited a variety of factors in choosing not to take on the president as a client. Some, like Brendan Sullivan, said they had upcoming trials or existing commitments that would make it impossible for them to devote the necessary time and resources to Trump’s defense.

Others mentioned potential conflicts with clients of their firms, such as financial institutions that have already received subpoenas relating to potential money-laundering issues that are part of the investigation.

But a consistent theme, the sources said, was the concern about whether the president would accept the advice of his lawyers and refrain from public statements and tweets that have consistently undercut his position.

The concerns were, ‘The guy won’t pay and he won’t listen,’” said one lawyer close to the White House who is familiar with some of the discussions between the firms and the administration, as well as deliberations within the firms themselves.
