On 12 May 2025, reports surfaced that President Donald Trump is poised to accept a £320 million ($425 million) Boeing 747-8 from Qatar's royal family, a lavish jet dubbed a 'flying palace' set to serve as a temporary Air Force One.
The aircraft, expected to be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation by January 2029, has sparked fierce debate. Critics, including Democratic leaders, call it a blatant violation of ethics, while Trump defends it as a cost-saving move.
