US EditionTrump Responds to Question About Qatar Jet, Criticizes ABC Reporter
- President Donald Trump responded to questions about Qatar’s offer of a $400 million Boeing 747-8 jet as a temporary Air Force One replacement during his upcoming Middle East trip, including a stop in Qatar.
- Trump’s impatience with delays in the official Air Force One replacement program, which faces years of technical, security, and subcontractor issues, led Qatar to offer the jet as a stopgap while Boeing finishes the project near the end of Trump’s term.
- The proposal sparked bipartisan concerns about conflicts of interest, legal emoluments violations, national security risks, and the difficulty of equipping the Qatari jet with all necessary presidential security features on a fast timeline.
- Trump responded to his critics by stating he would not personally use the gifted jet after leaving office and likened accepting the offer to accepting a courtesy in golf, expressing appreciation and moving on without further complaint.
- The controversy remains unsettled as Democrats express outrage, some Republicans voice skepticism, and officials review the gift’s legality and security implications ahead of any possible acceptance.
