They've talked about kicking us out of the Five Eyes network.

We were one of their main security partners on this.

They wanted to kick us out.

Why?

Because, well, we exposed Russian interference in the election as part of the intelligence sharing.

They've talked about kicking us out of NORAD, which would leave North America defenseless.

They see us very much as an adversary, a threat, a country to be pushed around.

And yet now we find out that they're

going to put a Qatari base in Idaho on our border.

This is just not a regime that can be trusted.

Well, I think with the message that it's sending is that as a former ally and as now a potential adversarial neighbor,

They can't be trusted.

They can't be trusted with Intel.

They can't be trusted in terms of coordination.

For training, if they wanted to train Qatari pilots, well, the US has a long history of that.

Canada has a long history of that.

Canada and the US have long histories of training together out doing naval exercises.

If the Americans want to come up into the Arctic to train, we work with them.

If we were going to get training in some area on defense, these are common things that you have between nations.

What you don't have is giving a foreign nation a military base on your soil.
