According to the White House Statement- "The two leaders discussed the critical goals of preventing the financing of terrorist organisations and eliminating the promotion of extremism by any nation in the region. The president underscored that a united Gulf Cooperation Council is critical to defeating terrorism and promoting regional stability."
