U.S. President Donald Trump Tuesday applauded Qatar's efforts to stop funding terrorism, nearly a year after accusing the Persian Gulf country of funding extremism at a "high level."

Trump's remarks came as he met at the White House with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.

Since Trump's past criticism of Qatar, the country has engaged in an aggressive campaign to rebuild its reputation in the U.S. and prove it is a dependable ally.

"You've now become a very big advocate, and we appreciate it," Trump told the emir in the Oval Office. "A lot of countries were funding terrorism and we're stopping it. It's getting stopped and fast."
