Legal teams for the U.S. and Qatari governments have reportedly not finalized an agreement regarding the transfer of a Boeing 747-8 jetliner intended for Air Force One, despite Defense Department claims. Qatar is requesting that the memorandum of understanding explicitly state that the transfer was initiated by the Trump administration and that they are not liable for future ownership. The delay in finalizing the agreement reflects concerns over legal liability regarding the transition from a sale to a gift, which President Trump has emphasized as a key outcome of his Middle East trip.
Qatar insists a memorandum specify that the aircraft transfer was initiated by Trump, absolving them of future ownership responsibility, amidst ongoing legal clarifications.
Despite claims from the Defense Department, legal teams from the U.S. and Qatar haven't finalized the agreement for the transfer of Air Force One.
