Tillerson Calls On Saudis, Others To Ease Blockade On Qatar

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called on Saudi Arabia and other countries to end their "blockade" of Qatar, after they accused the country of backing terrorist activities. But Tillerson also said the emir of Qatar must do more, and do more quickly, to fight extremism. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt broke ties with Qatar earlier this week.
