President Trump plans to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 from Qatar, potentially converting it into a presidential aircraft. He argues this would be a financially sensible move for the U.S. despite ethical concerns, suggesting that receiving the aircraft free of charge would replace the aging Air Force One. The Qatari government is still reviewing the offer, emphasizing no final decision has been made. The aircraft's temporary use would also coincide with Trump's administration wrapping up in January 2029, with ownership later going to his presidential library foundation.
In a very public and transparent transaction, Trump defended accepting a 747 aircraft from Qatar as a fiscally smart move, countering Democratic concerns.
Qatar's government stated that no final decision has been made regarding the temporary transfer of the aircraft for presidential use.
