Former President Trump presented a Boeing 747, gifted by the Qatari royal family, as his new Air Force One. The aircraft, valued at approximately $400 million, was converted for presidential use and will serve as the official plane until Boeing delivers replacements in 2028. The acceptance of the gift sparked criticism from both Democrats and Republicans, who raised ethical and constitutional concerns, as well as fears of potential Qatari influence. Trump described the plane as a “flying White House” with unprecedented luxury. He intends to utilize the aircraft for upcoming international engagements, including the NATO summit in Turkey. The gift represents one of the most expensive ever accepted by a U.S. administration, prompting debate over the appropriateness of foreign gifts to government officials.
