Qatar's gift or grift?

  • President Donald Trump accepted a $400 million Boeing 747 gift from Qatar's royal family on May 12, 2025, intended as the next Air Force One aircraft.
  • The gift followed Trump's January Executive Order to Combat Anti-Semitism and drew Republican and MAGA critics concerned that Qatar funds Hamas, a terror group.
  • Trump defended the donation as a 'gesture of good faith' amid Boeing's delays and his personal involvement in foreign business dealings, sparking backlash from allies and Democrats.
  • Senator Bernie Sanders called the gift 'farcically corrupt' and 'blatantly unconstitutional,' while reports noted ethical questions about Trump accepting a personal foreign donation.
  • This event highlights tensions between Trump's foreign engagements and his stated war on antisemitism, raising concerns about conflicts of interest and politicized enforcement actions.
