Trump’s plan to accept free Air Force One replacement from Qatar raises ethical and security worries
Trump said accepting a luxury 747 from Qatar is a no-brainer. But critics say the plan threatens to turn a symbol of American power into a collection of legal and counterintelligence concerns.
President Donald Trump is reportedly set to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar during a trip to the Middle East this week, though the Qatari government has said it hasn’t made a final decision to do so.
Qatar on Sunday denied reports that the Trump administration is preparing to accept a luxury jet from the country’s royal family in the coming days. ABC News reported earlier Sunday that a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet would become available for President Donald Trump as Air Force One and then donated to his presidential library foundation so he could use it after leaving office.
