I don't understand the purpose of this. This is very odd and another one of those Trump "head scratcher moments", such as the recent deal with Pfizer, and the support for the war in Ukraine.
Will be used to train Qatar pilors on F15 jets.

Hegseth said the Trump administration has signed the letter greenlighting the building of a Qatar Emiri air force contingent at the Mountain Home Air Force Base located in southwestern Idaho.
Qatar Emiri air force is the air arm of Qatar’s armed forces.
“Location will be host to a contingent of Qatari F-15s and pilots to enhance our combined training, increase lethality, interoperability,” Hegeseth said Friday. “It’s just another example of our partnership.”
Mountain Home Air Force Base, located in Elmore County, already hosts Singapore’s air force F-15SG fighter jets. LINK
BTW a bunch of foreign Fighter aircraft at Luke AFB in Arizona.

Definitely out of left field for me too. I'll stay quiet until more comes out.

Foreign aircraft and pilots have been here for decades.

Part of the Middle East peace deal.
Qatar wants to be a counter weight to Israel but Al’s to be able to defend itself from Iran.

Probably a deal with Qatar for help in the ME. The Switzerland of the area.

They gave Trump a fancy jet, so Trump gave them an air base on US soil.
That's what bribing Trump will get you.

What in the frick is the deal with this administration’s obsession with Qatar?

What is the issue with the Pfizer deal? Didn’t they just agree to lower the prices of their drugs in the US?
Posted on 10/10/25 at 11:00 am to TigerB8
This isn't new. I think Jordanian pilots train there as well.

Its deeper than that. This is a win for the Royal Families in the area. They are all connected.
