Trump Unveils Qatar-Donated Jet as Temporary Air Force One

TL;DR Summary
Trump revealed a modified luxury jet donated by Qatar to serve as an interim Air Force One while Boeing’s long-delayed VC-25B jets are finished; the gift sparked bipartisan backlash over legality and potential conflicts of interest, though the White House says it’s legal and will be donated to Trump’s presidential library after his term. The older 747-200B Air Force One fleet is being phased out as the interim aircraft is put to use, with the new jets expected to fulfill the role in the longer term.
