US EditionBessent defends Trump’s Qatari luxury jet gift: ‘French gave us the Statue of Liberty’
- On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended Qatar's gift of a $400 million jumbo Boeing 747-8 aircraft to Donald Trump, likening it to France's donation of the Statue of Liberty to the United States.
- The gift arose amid ongoing $100 billion Boeing orders from Qatar, though experts note the plane's transfer may violate the constitutional emoluments clause and require congressional approval.
- Trump attacked ABC News for reporting the gift, calling it fake news while the jet is set to move from the U.S. Air Force to Trump's presidential library.
- CNN's Jake Tapper warned 'that's a bill that could come due,' reflecting concerns that Qatar might expect favors despite current denials, while experts highlight Trump alone would benefit substantially.
- The event raises constitutional and ethical questions regarding foreign influence, with the gift linking to Qatar's controversial political funding and Trump's alleged promises to protect their interests.
