US EditionTrump addresses thousands of American troops stationed in Qatar
- On May 15, 2025, President Donald Trump spoke to a large gathering of U.S. military personnel during his visit to a key air base in Qatar as part of his tour throughout the Middle East.
- His speech followed White House announcements of a fiscal 2026 plan proposing a 3.8% military pay raise, pending Congressional approval.
- The proposed pay increase would boost annual earnings by around $1,200 for lower-ranking enlisted personnel, approximately $2,500 for higher-ranking enlisted members and junior commissioned officers, and close to $4,300 for an O-4 with 12 years of service.
- Trump emphasized that raising pay is vital for maintaining morale and preparedness, remarking, "You're a very special group of people," and highlighting that his budget for 2026 proposes pay increases for all, which was met with applause and laughter.
- White House budget documents indicate the 2026 raise could be the lowest since 2022, and lawmakers have expressed frustration as Congress begins appropriations work.
