WASHINGTON
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Wednesday the United States hopes that Arab countries involved in a diplomatic split with Qatar will soon present Doha a list of"reasonable and actionable" demands to move the crisis toward a resolution.
"We understand a list of demands has been prepared and coordinated by the Saudis, Emiratis, Egyptians and Bahrainis," Tillerson said in a statement.
"We hope the list of demands will soon be presented to Qatar and will be reasonable and actionable."
Tillerson said the US backs a Kuwaiti mediation effort aimed at resolving the crisis.
His comments came a day after the State Department said it was"mystified" that the Gulf states had not yet offered the grievances that prompted a diplomatic break with Qatar.
