Fox News
The United States will receive a luxury Boeing 747 from Qatar, which would serve as a temporary Air Force One, President Donald Trump said.
The White House has pushed back against criticism of Trump, saying any gift from a foreign power is always accepted in full compliance with all laws. Louis Casiano is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to louis.casiano@fox.com.
"The Boeing 747 is being given to the United States Air Force/Department of Defense, NOT TO ME!" Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform in the middle of his visit to Saudi Arabia. "It is a gift from a Nation, Qatar, that we have successfully defended for many years. It will be used by our Government as a temporary Air Force One, until such time as our new Boeings, which are very late on delivery, arrive."
