WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is preparing to host the ruling leader of Qatar at the White House as the West faces the prospect of a European energy crunch if Russia invades Ukraine. Qatar is one of the world’s biggest natural gas suppliers, but it might only be able to offer limited assistance if Russia disrupts the flow of energy supplies to Europe. The White House anticipates that Qatar may renew its request for a $500 million purchase of M-9 Reaper drones. Also up for discussion is the status of U.S. efforts to resurrect the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
