After Trump Accepts $400M ‘Flying Palace’ Jet From Qatar To Use As Air Force One, Ethics Critics From Both Parties Call It ‘Bribery’
President Donald Trump’s administration is ready to accept a $400 million “flying palace” Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from Qatar’s royal family, which Trump will use as Air Force One.
The president will use the aircraft, which is reported to be the most luxurious private jet in the world, as a temporary presidential jet. At the same time, Boeing finishes the next-generation Air Force One fleet after years of delays and cost overruns. The jet would then be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation when Trump leaves office.
In 2022, Trump’s plan to paint Air Force One red, white and blue was scrapped due to its $1.1 billion cost.
Trump, who earned the lowest approval rating of any president in the past eight decades at 100 days in office, could receive delivery of the plane soon.
On Sunday night, Trump confirmed in a Truth Social post that he would accept the plane.
