Description

The tiny, but enormously wealthy, Arab gulf state of Qatar has been blockaded by its neighbours for three months over accusations that it backs terrorism. It denies the charges and this week took its complaint to the World Trade Organisation. Jonathan Wheatley discusses what's behind the dispute and the likely repercussions for the region with the FT's Simeon Kerr. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
