Trump loyalist Steve Bannon blasted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s announcement that the U.S. military will provide Qatar with access to an air base in Idaho.
Hegseth made the surprise decision on Friday that a “Qatari Emiri Air Force facility” will be built at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Elmore County, Idaho, leading to an outcry on both sides of the aisle.
The defense chief, who has rebranded his role as the “secretary of war,” later tried to clarify that Qatar “will not have their own base” or “anything like a base,” but apparently failed to reassure Bannon and other members of the America First movement.
