GOP blocks funding pause on Qatar-gifted Air Force One upgrades
TL;DR Summary
Senate Republicans blocked Schumer’s bid to bar taxpayer funding for retrofitting the Qatar-donated Boeing 747-8 that would serve as Trump’s new Air Force One, with cost estimates up to $1 billion; Deb Fischer argued the measure could hamper other critical presidential security aircraft, while Trump and the White House say upgrades would proceed later, keeping the old Air Force One in service for now.
