Donald Trump once called the nation of Qatar a historical “funder of terrorism.” Now, he’s letting the same nation’s military inside the United States to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force Facility.
The United States Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth announced on Friday, Oct. 10, that the Trump administration is signing a letter of acceptance for the Qatari Emiri Air Force to build a facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. He was joined by the Qatari Minister of Defense, Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, at the Pentagon, and thanked him for playing a “substantial role” in helping achieve the recent Gaza peace deal.
