The Trump administration is set to receive a luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the Qatari royal family, which will serve as the new Air Force One for President Trump until the end of his second term. Ownership of the aircraft will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation after Trump’s presidency. This arrangement, reportedly compliant with U.S. and international laws, has been in discussions for some time, and the President accepted the offer upon its formal proposal. Trump is expected to discuss the gift during an upcoming trip to Qatar.
This trip will be part of Trump’s first foreign visit of his second term, which includes stops in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. In Qatar, the President plans to deliver a speech and engage with American troops stationed at Al Udeid Air Base, accompanied by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
This marks the second time Trump has chosen Saudi Arabia as the first stop during a foreign trip, a choice he made during his first term in 2017 as well. The discussions surrounding the jet gift suggest a strategic collaboration between the Trump administration and the Middle Eastern monarchy, highlighting the ongoing diplomatic ties. The involvement of various U.S. officials reflects the administration’s focus on maintaining strong international relationships during Trump’s presidency.
