Pete Hegseth has announced that Qatari Air Force base in Idaho, an authoritarian regime, will be allowed to build an Air Force training facility on American soil β at Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho.This decision has created a deep political and security controversy within America.
Hegseth said:
βWe are signing the letter of acceptance for the construction of the Qatari Amiri Air Force facility at Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho.β
This means that Qatari F-15 fighter jets and pilots will now train on American soil.
But questions arise.
Is giving a non-NATO countryβwhich provides Hamas with approximately $1.8 billion in financial support each yearβaccess to a US base the right move?

Many experts say this decision could increase threats to national security, technology leaks, and sensitive military information.
Others argue that this is a step toward increased joint training and cooperation, allowing the US to achieve better interoperability with its allies.
Political smell or strategic move?
Critics believe that this agreement is the result of some deep political deal. Many alleged that Qatari Air Force base in Idaho had previously given Trump a golf resort and a private plane β and now this βairbase dealβ appears to be an extension of that deal.
The comments are swiftβ
- βQatar gifting Trump a plane was actually a down payment on Idaho real estate.β
- βQatar got Trump a military base on US soil in exchange for jets and golf courses.β

Public Reaction on Qatari Air Force base in Idaho
Social media users are furious.
Many are even calling it “treason”β
“We’re deploying troops across the United States, and now we’re allowing a non-NATO country to open a base on American soil? That’s treason.”
Some people are also commenting on the local situation in Qatari Air Force base in Idaho β
“Idaho is terrible, especially the northern part. Racist and harsh. Now, foreign troops there?”
What is Qatar’s strategy?
Interestingly, Qatar recently endured a precision airstrike on the Hamas leadership and offered no protest.

Some analysts believe Qatar has partially bought into Trump’s pro-Western policyβ
“If you’re a good guy, you’ll be treated like a member of the team.”
Conclusion
This agreement does not appear to be a simple military training initiative. This raises serious questions about US foreign policy, security priorities, and moral boundaries. While some call it βpragmatic diplomacy,β others consider it tantamount to βinviting danger into our own homes.β
