Trump Wants Qatar-Gifted Air Force One to Feature at His Presidential Library, but Hurdles Remain: Report
- President Donald Trump has started using a Boeing 747-8 gifted by Qatar as Air Force One, with plans to showcase the aircraft at his future presidential library in Miami.
- Serving as a temporary "bridge" until 2028, the aircraft received $400 million in taxpayer-funded military modifications to enable safe presidential transport while two new Boeings are completed.
- Rep. Joe Courtney and other Democratic lawmakers are attempting to block the library transfer, citing ethical concerns over accepting such a high-value gift from a foreign government.
- The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library currently displays a retired Air Force One after the foundation disassembled and trekked it more than 100 miles overland to reassemble it in the pavilion.
- Should Democrats win back the House in upcoming midterms, they may gain legislative authority to prevent Trump from keeping the $400 million aircraft for his presidential library.
