President Donald Trump’s new Air Force One, a gift from Qatar, was not retrofitted with the same defensive systems as the older models it has replaced, potentially leaving it vulnerable to attack, according to a report.
The $400 million luxury jet presented to Trump by Doha last year had to be upgraded by the U.S. Air Force at the cost of an estimated $1 billion before it could be pressed into service as a stand-in or “bridge aircraft” for use until a new fleet ordered from Boeing finally arrives in 2028.
