"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."

A letter of acceptance was announced to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho. The U.S. clarified that Qatar will not have an independent base and that the U.S. will retain control of the existing base and operations.

Critics included Laura Loomer, who said she would withhold support in 2026, and Steve Bannon, who opposed any foreign military base on U.S. soil.
