Trump Is Letting Qatar Build a Military Facility in the U.S., and MAGA Is Not Happy
"According to the plan that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Friday, Idaho’s Mountain Home Airbase will soon house a site for Qatar‘s Emiri Air Force pilots to train on F-15 jets, which angered some MAGA supporters who don’t trust the Qatari government and who (wrongly) believed Qatar was building its own base in the United States.
“Today, we’re announcing a letter of acceptance in building a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho,” Hegseth said Friday while standing beside Qatari Minister of Defense Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani. Some in the MAGAverse took this to mean that Qatar would have its own base, rather than building a facility on an existing U.S. base.
J.D. Vance was asked today on Fox News to clarify the Trump administration’s announcement.
“This is largely a fake story,” Vance said of those who believed that Qatar would build its own base in the U.S. “We continue to have — with countries that we work with, we have relationships where sometimes their pilots work on our bases, sometimes we train together, sometimes we work together in other ways. The reporting that somehow there is going to be a Qatari base on United States soil, that’s just not true. We are continuing to work with a number of our Arab friends to ensure we are able to enforce this peace, but we’re not going to let a foreign country have an actual base on American soil, so there’s a bit of misreporting on that, as there often is.”
Hegseth’s original announcement sent shockwaves through some in the MAGA universe."
