Summary
Following Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory, Qatar’s communications with right-wing media have surged by over 50%, as reported by The Washington Examiner. A significant part of this strategy included a costly interview arranged between Tucker Carlson and Qatar’s Prime Minister, with a legal firm facilitating the meeting. Critics express concern about Qatar’s efforts to improve its image amid ties to Hamas and Iran, especially after changes to the enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act that may allow greater unregistered lobbying, impacting U.S. policy and media transparency.
