MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho — Idaho Congressman Russ Fulcher has reached out to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, expressing his disappointment about being left out of discussions regarding a new Qatar Emiri Air Force facility coming to Mountain Home Air Force Base.

In a letter to state lawmakers, Fulcher stated that he requested a briefing on the partnership after learning about it through an announcement made on October 10. The congressman detailed his concerns further during a phone town hall on Tuesday.

"Frankly, I was not aware of, and I don't think our delegation was aware of either, that it progressed to that point where there'd been a tentative agreement to make that happen," Fulcher said.
