Qatari Plane for Trump Is Trojan Horse
- President Trump accepted a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar amid a $2 billion business deal involving his firm's digital coins and a fund backed by Abu Dhabi.
- This acceptance occurred after Trump suspended the implementation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which is designed to stop American companies from offering bribes to foreign officials.
- Observers note the Qatari jet symbolizes disregard for U.S. ethical standards and argue that allowing it past national gates weakens American security.
- Trump responded sharply by saying that he could foolishly refuse the offer of an extravagant, no-cost airplane, but instead he considered it a generous act.
- The acceptance risks undermining U.S. rule of law, lowering ethical standards, creating conflicts of interest, and damaging America’s global standing.
