Saudi king suggested ground invasion of Qatar to Trump in June 2017: Report
Sunday, 09 August 2020 10:02 AM [ Last Update: Sunday, 09 August 2020 11:17 AM ]
A new report has revealed that Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud proposed a plan to US President Donald Trump to invade Qatar in the summer of 2017, as a bitter feud between Saudi Arabia and the Doha government escalated.
According to American news magazine Foreign Policy, the Saudi monarch put forward the proposal during a telephone conversation with Trump back on June 6, 2017, suggesting a ground invasion of Qatar.
Trump, however, roundly dismissed the idea, and requested Kuwait to mediate between Saudi Arabia and Qatar to resolve the conflict.

Really it's not so hot news, https://theintercept.com/2018/08/01/rex-tillerson-qatar-saudi-uae/ (August 2018)
SAUDI ARABIA PLANNED TO INVADE QATAR LAST SUMMER.
The plan involved Saudi ground troops crossing the land border into Qatar, and, with military support from the UAE, seizing control of Doha.
