Todd Young isn't "comfortable" with Qatar's gift to Trump

  • U.S. President Donald Trump is considering accepting a $400 million luxury jumbo jet offered by Qatar during his 2025 visit to the Middle East.
  • The offer comes amid delayed delivery of new Air Force One planes by Boeing, and critics question its legality under the Constitution's emoluments clause.

  • Bipartisan scrutiny could trigger legal challenges over the gift's acceptance, although Qatar’s prime minister said the offer would be withdrawn if deemed illegal.
