During his Middle East trip, President Donald Trump made light of an F-15 fighter jet escort, prompting reporters to inquire about threats to Air Force One. Critics, including some MAGA allies, condemned Trump's acceptance of Qatar's $400 million aircraft gift, amidst concerns of bribery. While discussing diplomatic relations, Trump portrayed a positive image of his interactions, specifically mentioning his familiarity with the Emir of Qatar. His remarks included ambiguous reassurance about potential threats, indicating a blend of confidence and uncertainty during the journey from Saudi Arabia to Qatar.
When they say yes, that doesn't make me feel good, right? Let's assume there's no threat. We have to assume that.
I think it's going really well. Great relationships. And now we're meeting with a group that's fantastic.
You're gonna be surrounded by eight fighters, you know, in about seven minutes.
The Emir is a great guy, I know him I know 'em all very well.
