While pushing ‘America First,’ Trump set to accept Qatar’s luxury jet as Air Force One

  • President Trump plans to visit Qatar this week amid ongoing discussions about Qatar donating a Boeing 747-8 jet to the U.S. Department of Defense.
  • The proposed gift has been under extended negotiation and is not scheduled for formal transfer during Trump's visit, with legal review still unresolved.
  • Trump is expected to meet American troops at Al Udeid Air Base, accompanied by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, with his itinerary including stops in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
  • The $400 million aircraft's acceptance has drawn sharp criticism, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer calling it foreign influence and Senator Bernie Sanders citing constitutional violations.
  • Although the Trump administration asserts full legal compliance and transparency, the jet will first serve under the administration before transferring to Trump's presidential library after his term.
