Umm... is this the first foreign military base on US soil?

It is in no way the first foreign “air force facility” in America. The Singaporeans, Taiwanese also have facilities on US soil.
The agreement, which Hegseth announced alongside the Qatari Minister of Defense, will support joint training operations, allowing Qatari pilots to train alongside US forces, as reported by CBS News. While the US does not host foreign military bases, select allied militaries are permitted to maintain a training presence on American soil. Similar arrangements already exist, such as with the Singaporean Air Force, which also operates at Mountain Home.
