Kevin McCarthy says with Qatar plane gift to Trump, "my problem is really with Boeing"

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Wednesday defended President Trump's possible move to accept a Qatari-offered jet for the president's use, saying "the problem is really with Boeing."

"Boeing had a responsibility to provide a new Air Force One now. They didn't do the job," McCarthy said on "CBS Mornings Plus."

Mr. Trump arrived Wednesday in Qatar following a visit to Saudi Arabia, as the president makes his first international trip of his second term this week. Meanwhile, the unprecedented offer by the royal family of Qatar to donate a jumbo jet for Mr. Trump's exclusive use as a presidential plane has loomed over the trip, as Democrats — and some Republicans — have called the ethics and national security implications of the potential gift into question.
