"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday announced that he would sign a letter approving the establishment of a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility in Idaho.
.
The relationship goes beyond simple diplomatic ties: The Qatari government offered a luxury Boeing 747 in May to the U.S., which President Donald Trump accepted following a high-profile visit to the country during his first overseas trip since his re-election, which also included visits to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
.
The announcement has caused an immediate and negative pushback from prominent MAGA figures, who have denounced the decision as going against the 'Merica First politics the movement supports.
.
Right-wing independent journalist Laura Loomer wrote on X: "Never thought I’d see Republicans give terror financing Muslims from Qatar a MILITARY BASE on US soil so they can murder Americans. I don’t think I’ll be voting in 2026. I cannot in good conscience make any excuses for the harboring of jihadis. This is where I draw the line."
.
Trump ally and leading MAGA voice Steve Bannon told Newsweek: "There should never be a military base of a foreign power on the sacred soil of America."
