Donald Trump plans to accept a luxury Boeing 747-8 jet from the Qatari royal family for use as Air Force One, intending to keep flying in it after his presidency, despite restrictions on gifts to US officials. The White House argues this arrangement is lawful as the jet will first be transferred to the Air Force and then to Trump’s presidential library, circumventing the emoluments clause. Critics, including the Democratic National Committee, assert this move raises ethical concerns and reflects Trump’s ongoing focus on personal financial gain amid broader economic challenges.
