Didn’t say I liked it, just seems we’ve done this type of thing before.

Did you complain then?

No country has built and operated an independent military base on U.S. soil

. However, allied nations maintain a significant presence for joint training and operations on U.S. military bases. 

Recent events have sparked public discussion about these long-standing arrangements:

In October 2025, a plan was announced for Qatar to fund and build facilities at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho to train its pilots to fly U.S.-made F-15 fighter jets. This drew public outcry from some who mistook it for a foreign base being established in the U.S.. U.S. Defense officials clarified that the base would remain under U.S. jurisdiction and ownership.

The incident highlights that agreements allowing allied forces to train on U.S. soil are common and have been in place for years or even decades.
