Historic Economic and Defense Agreements Signed Between the U.S. and Qatar

In a significant development announced by the White House on Wednesday, the United States has forged a monumental agreement with Qatar, promising to stimulate at least $1.2 trillion in economic exchanges. This agreement was signed by President Donald J. Trump during his visit to Doha, which is part of his broader Middle East tour.

The announcement came shortly after President Trump’s departure from Saudi Arabia, marking a continued emphasis on strengthening ties with key Middle Eastern allies. The White House released a fact sheet detailing the scope of this agreement, highlighting its potential to significantly boost the U.S. economy.

Details of the U.S.-Qatar Economic Deals

Alongside the overarching economic exchange agreement, several specific deals totaling $243.5 billion were also secured between U.S. and Qatari companies. A standout component of these deals is Qatar Airways’ massive purchase from Boeing and GE Aerospace, which includes up to 210 American-made Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777X aircraft, powered by GE Aerospace engines. This order, valued at $96 billion, is the largest widebody order in Boeing’s history and is expected to support approximately 154,000 U.S. jobs annually.

Other significant agreements include the Parsons Corporation securing 30 projects worth $97 billion, and a joint venture between Al Rabban Capital and Quantinuum, which plans to invest up to $1 billion in advanced quantum technologies and workforce development in the United States.

The economic agreements were not the only focus of the U.S.-Qatar collaboration. A joint declaration of cooperation was also signed by President Trump and Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, the Emir of Qatar. Additionally, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a Qatari official inked a statement of intent for enhanced defense cooperation.

This defense alignment includes Qatar’s agreement to purchase nearly $2 billion worth of MQ-9B remotely operated aircraft from General Atomics, and a $1 billion acquisition of counter-drone capabilities from Raytheon. The statement of intent further outlines over $38 billion in potential investments, which will bolster the security partnership between the two nations, focusing on areas such as air defense and maritime security.

The agreements with Qatar follow closely on the heels of a $142 billion arms deal signed with Saudi Arabia, underscoring the Trump administration’s commitment to securing American interests and enhancing military capabilities in the Middle East.
