Trump’s Qatar-donated Air Force One debuts on Roosevelt Library trip
TL;DR
Trump’s Qatar-donated Air Force One made its first official flight with him aboard, flying from Washington to North Dakota for the dedication of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library; the Boeing 747-B, praised as a “palace in the sky,” was funded by a $400 million gift from Qatar and later required security upgrades, prompting ethics questions about accepting a foreign gift, and the plane is not expected to operate as Air Force One after 2028.
