Trump to visit US troops in Qatar as he rejects America’s ‘interventionist’ past in region
- On May 14, 2025, President Donald Trump met with Qatar’s ruler at the Amiri Diwan in Doha during his four-day trip to the Gulf region.
- Trump's visit follows ongoing U.S. Military involvement in the region, including over 1,000 troops deployed in Syria to counter Islamic State militants.
- During the visit, Trump and Sheikh Tamim signed bilateral agreements allowing Qatar to buy U.S.-made MQ-9B drones, and Trump praised Gulf economic models while rejecting past U.S. Interventionism.
- Trump plans to address approximately 8,000 U.S. Troops at al-Udeid Air Base, a key facility that supported conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yemen's air campaign, and promised a demonstration of American air capability.
- The visit underscores U.S. Efforts to lessen direct involvement by fostering regional alliances, urging Syria’s emerging administration to assume responsibility for detention facilities, and expanding arms sales to Gulf partners.
