The United States is planning to designate Qatar as a major non-NATO ally, President Joe Biden has told Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, a move that would formally upgrade the partnership between Doha and Washington.
During a meeting with Sheikh Tamim at the White House on Monday, Biden called Qatar a “good friend and reliable partner”.
“I’m notifying Congress that I will designate Qatar as a major non-NATO ally to reflect the importance of our relationship; I think it’s long overdue,” Biden said from the Oval Office.
The status would give Doha special economic and military privileges in its relationship with Washington.

Talk about the abuses that workers are enduring in Qatar
Talk about the abuse in your county
@boody moai Qatar is rich. Why arent they paying the laborers more Donkey?
@Joe Mama Why the migrants and refugees are treated like 3rd class citizens in the richer west?
I really never trust Qatar , why do most terrorist organisations open an office there
No wonder al jazeera is so pro american. They are greasing up to the americans.
When is US going to demand democracy in Qatar?
Don’t believe America
But kisser is Qatar
Isn’t All Jazeera based in Gatar and controlled by them? A little biased lol
Because of gas
呃….这政治是个啥逻辑？ 实在不理解….
哎….为啥责怪石油呢？ 巴基斯坦孟加拉北非没石油…不知道感恩，瞎责怪…
I love how he told about the Palestinian issue without hiding it even in this moment
Aljazeera will be biased from now on heeding to the ally, US politics!
But, Qatar must be careful, it could be an American trap
So what happens to Turkey?
Taxidermy Biden 🤦🏽♀️ America #1 🤡
My respect to the Emir for talking about the Palestinian people
Very happy to see a name like yours in support of Palestine. Love you brother and thank you! ❤️
Qatar support Hamas
But Uae and saudi Arabia is friend of Saudi Arabia
Stupid move
The prince of Arab 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Tamim al Thani mashallah ❤
Save your self from their friendship and animosity , at least in animosity you know what’s coming but in friendship u go down without knowing .
Now that Russia is stopping the energy, running 🏃♀️ Qatar 😂😂😂😂
Terrorist America never be a friend anyone
What US has been doing for century is create chaos here and there and then act as a protector to countries from which it can extract more and more resources and also sell its products specially weapons.
Any country that says no will face the fate of Gaddafi.
I love Qatar from Cambodia 🇰🇭
*UAE & Saudi Arabia must learn from Qatar & Oman, neutral in conflict/war in Yemen & Syria*
Good move on mentioning Palestine 🇵🇸 👌
Qatar be vary of this Devil country called USA!!
Interesting Qatar canceled an Airbus contract this week, or rather Airbus canceled it because of “paint issues” then signs a new one with Boeing. I’m guessing that LNG shipment to Berlin is already on its way. Geopolitics….
What you dismissively call “paint issues” is not merely a problem of esthetics but a security risk, since the paint’s cracks expose the copper meshing used to insulate an aircraft against lightning strikes. The reason why Airbus canceled the contract is a legal one, as they are now involved in a bitter legal fight with Qatar Airways who sued over the problem. Given that the company has recently become the world’s largest long-haul airline, they actually need additional planes of the kind that one can either by from Airbus or from Boeing, so of course they went on to place an order w/ Boeing once Airbus canceled the contract. So no, its not Geopolitics in this case at all, just a conspiracy theory (which seems very appropriate for social media)…
Arab League: 👁️👄👁️
Wow I love how he brought up Palestinian issue great leader!
Love Qatar 🇶🇦
NATO. 🇺🇸🌏👈🏻📊👈🏻proQant faker
Non Nato ally ha! Yanks do that when they want to use 3rd party country
I Think Same US Was Said To Pakistan And Before Saddam Hussein And Libya’s Gaddafi Was Also Thier Favourites US And EU Rivalry Is 1000 Times Better Than Friendship
@Paolo Curradini And One More Thing US Is Not Democracy Its Totally Controlled By US Military
@i m The U.S. military is actually under civilian control, but I agree that there are Democratic issues in the U.S. as they do not elect their President based on a popular vote, but use a relic of the past, the electoral college, which can (and does) lead to the election of the candidate who received less votes overall. I doubt you really care about Democracy and are informed/interested enough to discuss the matter, so I’ll leave it at that for now and wish you all the best. 🙂👍
@Paolo Curradini Which Civilian Control US Military ? Which Civilian Command US Military Chief ?
@i m The commander in chief of all American armed forces is always the duly elected President of the United States, as established by Article II of the U.S. Constitution. And no active duty military person, no matter their rank, is ever allowed to run for President or other important positions related to the armed forces, including the Defence Secretary. Every Western Democracy has similar rules in place, since military control in not compatible with Democracy, and poses a major risk to the survival of our institutions.
@i m There is still a risk that the military, and especially the so-called “military-industrial complex” (which includes not only the military but also the many corporations who research, design and manufacture weapons, ships, tanks and other equipment for the armed forces) might exercise too much influence behind the scenes, especially given the astronomical budget that they have at their disposal. President Eisenhower, who had been one of the most brilliant Allied Generals in WW2 years before running for President, famously warned of such a danger in his last speech to the nation, so we always have to remain watchful.
Equal rights for Palestinian people…love you QATAR
Quatar….jihadists & terorists…like talibans…?
Well sleeping jo…!!!
American leader now targeting Iran
Waiting for the Saudi and Emirati leader’s reaction…A neighbor nation they despise… But hey, it is all about the Gas.. US needs Qatar to counter Russias growing energy clout… It’s all about Uncle Sam..
Hope they re not using Qatar just as a springboard while dealing with Putin
Of course they do.
Qatar- a country with zero haters.
qater is ruled by a killer dictatorship family
already qatar became key ally for US because they created terrorist that US get chance to invade middle east take their oils
Biden needs Qatar gas to Europe before targeting Russia gas, NATO doesn’t need Qatar and vise versa
The only MAN to speak about the Palestinian oppression 😓
Is Qatar Asian or African countries? Qatar is belongs to Egypt?
A terrible fate awaits if you are considered a “friend” of America.
Qatar is the main supporter of Hamas trsm.
Bad move, Biden
They declared Pakistan a major non-NATO ally and honestly it didn’t do us any good. The US is a fickle selfish “friend” and this status is probably going to hurt Qatar in the long term.
✊🇮🇱✊GOD HAVE MERCY OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND KEEP THIS GREAT NATIÓN SAFE FROM THE ANTICHRIST IN THE NAME OF JESUSCHRIST AMÉN ✊🇺🇸✊
Keep begging for alliances, you shameful beggars.
Stop telling lies !! This is all about selling gas to Europe and stoping Russia to activating north stream two . And , Of course; both countries will benefit selling its 3 times more expensive “freedom “ gas why you don’t ask the Europeans if they would like to pay triple the price for your non Russian freedom gas ? Why no one in the media is asking this question??“ I had a good concept about this network, but it’s the same when it comes to selft interest, it’s another piece of garbage
US won’t sell you f35s
Does people who said boycott the world cup in Qatar they are going to have to be quiet now because the freedom loving and human rights expert USA supports Qatar
No masks for sleepy Joe virus ?? I guess that’s is because he is the virus him self

Nato ally bcoz of the gas. All respect to Qatar for taking up Palestinian issue with Biden but trust me it wont do any good. Theres no way the US will come across Israel for Palestine.
Biden needs to stop the US financing of the Israeli genocide against the Palestinians. Empty statements are not enough.
And now I beg to see you dance just one more time- close quote
👌Very Nice ❤❤
The USA doesnt care about Human Rights only profits
very very good man Sheikh tamim Qatar Amir ❤️💗💜🤎💚💙
50% of Americans support Biden’s Impeachment

Saudi royal family mourns
The leader of this gulf country is very unlike the others, you can feel it, he actually cares about the Palestinians.
The Saudis or the Emiratis don’t seem to even remember the Palestinians, shameful indeed
Wow, this is like modern-day knighthood being bestowed by the king.
Its happy to see you both þo geather
Ha ha it’s funny to see a Muslim brotherhood sympathetic autocratic king is sitting with a democratic leader,what a hypocrisy in the part of the great USA🤣🤣🤣
I like this guy and i like this country. I wish we can have them replace the saudis as our first friend in the region. No problem with the saudi family, but wahabism is a disease that they dont seem to spread
If the Emir of Qatar 🇶🇦 took advantage of America’s need 🇺🇸 to extract recognition of the legitimate government of Afghanistan 🏳. It will be a masterstroke
Qatar run away – Pakistan is also a non-nato major ally and look at what happened.
What happened? I’m Pakistani, so I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Watch Al Jazeera go pro America now
That emir has more credibility, than that Alzheimer’s puddle several feet away.
Where is the humanity that you are talking about? You are blinded by what is happening in Syria and the right. I hope you and America wake up from the artificial persistence. People there eat plants. Come on, be a human for once.
He’s just there to lick the american president’s boots🤣
It will also be good if they speak about how they are going to compensate for the dead labourers of the shiny new stadium they built over the blood sweat and remains of hard working people from Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and India. It will also be nice for the do called emir to apologize in public for destroying hundreds and thousands of families. It is all good to steal a country’s business and violate human rights and labor rights in one hand and have a propoganda machine like your channel on the other. This surely suits liars. Hopeless
Independence of Palestinian people much more better to tell and fighting for than “equal rights” narrative.
The Arab world indeed has been giving up the land for Israel to own and rule. Palestinian States no more.
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
Y’all know him, I’m from UK 🇬🇧 i and my colleagues gave him a try and it has been good returns of our Investment, thanks Expert Ronald

Ever since I met mr Ronald for the first time at a conference in manchester i invested £25,000 and traded in one month making close to £143,670
This is the kind of info we don’t get from most YouTubers .l will get in touch with him right away, I’m really impressed
Alot of success stories, he’s must be honest and trustworthy for people to talk this good about him.
What’s the difference? Pakistan and the other 17 countries were having the same status.. Overall, Goood for Qatar
Qatar ? What’s Biden think this? 555
Stupid desperate move proves all the fear you are living.fear that can be smelled from the Moon. the fool heard i’m going, and he is racing with me trying to beg for protection.
What i have and what i’m welling to give them if they want to take it, worth….there’s even nothing to be compared with on this earth Mr.Gaz!
If you had chosen to visit Canada, I would have understood you, but you have chosen to go to the United States, and the United States is not Canada!! I’m going to Canada not the United States. As if with this movement you want to say that the United States has authority over Canada!! I don’t know if I’m the only one who thinks like that or…..its dangerous what you are creating here!!
The only ally Biden has is the Taliban.
Biden has no power to help anyone..not our president
👍
Please Emir don’t hold back on the pressing issue of the Palestinian people their mistreatment has to end and also do not be deceived about this meaningless status! It’s only a strategic move to access more of your gas to replace the Russian supply.
Attention! Symbiosis of neo-nazis and neo-stalinists took power in Russia. The russian authorities are sponsores all European neo-nazis and other extremists to destabilize Europe, USA and all world.
It’s not conspiracy, it’s real, because russian authorities spread fascists, chauvinists, racists propaganda to destabilize Europe, USA and all world
🖕 *FJB!*
No wonder Aljazeera has been all out Pro US for recent years. Congrats on making a deal with them.
The best leader Emir…
Henry Kissinger once quipped that “it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.”
May Allah bless Qatara leader
Isn’t that a Muslim country?
Equal rights for Palestinians. I’d like to see how that goes with the psycho-Biden who’s said that if Israel didn’t exist, the US would create it.
Emir, don’t show your bank account to Biden or he will ask for protection money like trump did to Saudi Arabia. 🤣🤣🤣
May Allah bless you Qatar for speaking about Palestinians but the problem is we are asking the same people who are already supporting the illegal occupation of Palestinian land.
After the first Designated Nato Ally Qatar, the next Designated Nato Ally may be Ukraine which then automatically becomes a DEFACTO MEMBER of Nato. How nice !
Equal Rights for the Palestinians is just the talk. It is just an insult to the helpless Palestinians.
Palestine should be on agenda
Slave😂
Great king Tamim will fight for all who are living in injustice…salam Malik e amir e qatar…
Europe doesn’t care about Putin , Europe doesn’t care about the USA ! Get back you all russians and americains !
