Qatar to donate a jumbo jet for Trump's exclusive use as a presidential plane

President Trump announced on Monday that Qatar is donating a jumbo jet for his exclusive use as a presidential plane, accepting the gift with the comment that he could 'be a stupid person and say, oh no, we don't want a free plane.' The unprecedented donation comes amid ongoing diplomatic relations between the United States and Qatar, with the Gulf nation seeking to maintain its strategic importance in the region. While Trump characterized the offer as a generous gift, the acceptance of such a substantial present raises questions about precedent and ethical considerations in presidential conduct. The value of a modern jumbo jet typically ranges from $300 million to over $400 million, making this one of the most expensive gifts ever offered to a sitting US president.
