Trump's Air Force One 2.0? Trump’s $400 Million “Flying Palace” Gift from Qatar Sparks Controversy

Trump is at the center of a political and legal storm after confirming plans to temporarily use a $400 million Boeing 747-8 — dubbed the “Flying Palace” — reportedly offered by Qatar’s royal family.

Trump claims the ultra-luxurious jet is a “gift, free of charge” to the U.S. government while the new Air Force One fleet faces delays.

However, Qatari officials deny it’s a personal gift to Trump and say the deal remains under review with the U.S. Department of Defense.

Critics, including top Democrats, warn the arrangement may breach the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause and raise national security concerns over foreign influence.
