Doha/Washington D.C.: In a notable move that comes amidst increasing calls on the Qatari-owned Al Jazeera network to sever ties and boycott American products due to Washington’s support for Israel, the White House announced on Wednesday the signing of significant agreements between Qatar and the United States, valued at least $1.2 trillion.
A White House statement detailed that the agreements, signed between then-US President Donald Trump and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, would generate an “economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion.”
This package of agreements includes a substantial $96 billion deal under which Qatar Airways will purchase up to 210 Boeing aircraft, comprising 787 Dreamliners and 777X models, powered by General Electric engines.
Furthermore, the agreements encompass a letter of intent that could lead to potential investments of $38 billion in Qatar’s Al Udeid Air Base and other air defense and maritime security capabilities.
Commenting on these agreements, Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani stated in a tweet on X (formerly Twitter): “Exceptional discussions today with US President Donald Trump in Doha, through which we give a new impetus to the existing strategic cooperation between our two countries in various fields. Qatar and the United States share distinguished relations and significant bilateral cooperation, and we look forward together, in light of the enormous potential of the two countries, to pushing it to a deeper and more advanced level in the commercial, economic and mutual investment fields, in a way that serves common interests and benefits the two friendly peoples.”
These massive deals raise questions about the extent to which the media discourse adopted by Al Jazeera, which calls for boycotting the United States due to its support for Israel, influences the economic and strategic relations between Doha and Washington. The sheer volume of the signed agreements suggests the continued strength and robustness of these ties, despite apparent discrepancies in media narratives.
