Qatari Air Force Base in Idaho: Concerns Over Corruption and U.S. Foreign Policy
In a Friday press conference held at the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a new agreement with Qatar to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. The facility will facilitate joint training exercises between Qatari and American military personnel, specifically with a contingent of Qatari F-15 fighter jets. This initiative aims to enhance combined training, increase lethality, and improve interoperability between the two nations. The agreement marks another step in strengthening the partnership between the U.S. and Qatar.
