Social Media Critics Slam Trump Admin For 'Continual Corrections' After Hegseth Blunder
The defense secretary announced Friday at the Pentagon that the U.S. will "build a Qatari Emeri Air Force facility" in Idaho, then issued a correction amid backlash.
"In fact, on-site training agreements with allies are common in the U.S. The Republic of Singapore 428th Fighter Squadron Buccaneers have been hosted at the base since 2008. German forces trained at the Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico for decades. New facilities to train international F-35 fighter pilots were completed at Ebbing Air Force Base in Arkansas last year."

Pentagon Pete Backtracks After Qatari Air Base Confusion
After announcing on Friday that the Trump administration would be providing an air base in Idaho to Qatar, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth backtracked, issuing a clarification on social media in response to a growing backlash. “Important clarification,” Hegseth wrote in the post, published to X...
My bet is after a bit more uproar (in large part from the right) this entire idea simply goes away and never happens.
The only question that will be left is whether or not Qatar also rescinds their "gift" to Trump.
Oh look, this **** up has been underway from 45, through Biden and now 47.
Timeline of key developments
2017: Following Qatar's purchase of F-15QA aircraft from the U.S., discussions began regarding training Qatari pilots on the jets within the U.S.
Around 2020: Work started on an environmental assessment to study the impact of a Qatari training facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho.
January 2022: The assessment was completed. A report indicated that around 170 members of the Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) would come to the Idaho base to train on the F-15 jets.
October 10, 2025: U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the finalization of the agreement, confirming that Qatar will build and pay for a training facility at the Mountain Home Air Force Base. The facility is intended to host Qatari F-15s and pilots to enhance combined training and interoperability with the U.S. military.
But the facility being built at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho isn't a separate base at all — it is a group of buildings that will be built to handle training and maintenance for Qatari troops — and the agreement with Qatar has been in the works for years.
“What we expect is it to be squadron operations and hangars for the F-15QA, because that's the Qatari version of the jet that they bought through foreign military sales,” Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek said. “It is definitely still a U.S. Air Force base.”

Terrible idea.
US says Qatar to build air force facility in Idaho - BBC News
The facility in Idaho will be used to train Qatari pilots to fly F-15 fighter jets, the US defence secretary says.www.bbc.com
Seems like a bad idea to me. I’m sure someone will be along shortly to tell me why a foreign national having an air force base here is great for us.
