President Donald Trump justified his decision to accept a private jet from the Qatari royal family, citing Boeing`s delays in delivering a new Air Force One. He said the current aircraft is 40 years old and outdated compared to jets used by Gulf nations. Trump called the gift a gesture of goodwill, highlighting that the U.S. has helped keep countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE safe. He emphasized that the plane would not be used for personal travel after his presidency and suggested it could eventually be displayed in his presidential library. Trump compared the situation to how retired Air Force One jets are preserved in museums honoring former presidents.
