will build an air force facility at a US military base in Idaho to host its F-15 fighter jets and to train pilots, according to an agreement signed Friday between US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his visiting Qatari counterpart.
The agreement represented the further warming of ties between Washington and Doha and came less than two weeks after US President Donald Trump

signed an executive order committing the US to defend Qatar if it came under attack.
Just over a month ago, such an attack unfolded when Israel fired missiles into Doha, targeting Hamas

The strike failed to kill any of Hamas’s top leadership and ended up galvanizing the entire Arab world around Doha’s calls for the US to rein in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Several weeks later, Trump had the Israeli premier apologize to his Qatari counterpart in the Oval Office, handing him a scripted apology that Netanyahu was coaxed into reading.
"Today, we’re announcing a letter of acceptance in building a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho," Hegseth said during a signing ceremony at the Pentagon.
The base "will be host to a contingent of Qatari F-15s and pilots to enhance our combined training, increase lethality, interoperability," Hegseth added. "It’s just another example of our partnership."
