The plane is estimated to cost around $400 million. Trump apparently confirmed the gift in a message on his social media account, Truth Social, writing: It seems that the fact that the Department of Defense received a 747 as a gift, completely free of charge, and is openly and transparently temporarily replacing the 40-year-old Air Force One, has put so much pressure on the corrupt Democrats that they are insisting that we buy it at an exorbitant price!
Democrats have said that receiving such a gift from Qatar is immoral and violates the US Constitution.
Ali Al-Ansari, media attaché at the Qatari Embassy in Washington, said that the possible transfer of this aircraft for temporary use as “Air Force One” (the plane supporting US presidents) is still being discussed between the Qatari and US defense ministries, and a final decision has not yet been made.
Trump is scheduled to visit Qatar this week on his first official trip to the Middle East. The gift will not be given or accepted while he is in Qatar.
