US EditionTrump addresses thousands of American troops stationed in Qatar
- On May 15, 2025, President Donald Trump addressed U.S. Military personnel in Qatar, pledging a significant pay increase for service members in 2026.
- The pay raise announcement followed the White House's fiscal 2026 spending plan outlining a 3.8% military pay increase, though some lawmakers seek additional hikes for senior enlisted troops.
- Trump described the pay raise as key to morale and readiness, linking it to increased Defense Department spending detailed in a May 2 letter to Congress.
- The proposed 3.8% raise would add roughly $1,200 to junior enlisted troops' take-home pay and up to $4,300 for officers with 12 years of service, but must receive congressional approval.
- Although the raise is part of a broader defense budget increase, White House documents indicate the 2026 military pay hike could be the smallest since 2022, with detailed requests pending release.
