Event Summary

Donald Trump took his first flight on a newly retrofitted Boeing 747, valued at $400 million, which was gifted by Qatar. The plane, intended to serve as Air Force One until 2028, underwent security upgrades costing United States taxpayers approximately $400 million. Ethical concerns have been raised due to Donald Trump's business dealings with Qatar and his stated intention to transfer the plane to his presidential foundation or library rather than the United States government. Critics suggest Qatar may use the gift for diplomatic leverage. Boeing is also contracted to deliver new Air Force One jets in 2028.
