Pentagon accepts $400 million jet from Qatar for President Donald Trump

The Pentagon has accepted a luxury Boeing 747 jet from Qatar to be used as Air Force One, the president’s plane, according to the Defense Department.

The unprecedented $400 million gift, which President Donald Trump has said will transfer to his library after his term ends, will require extensive renovation to serve essentially as the flying White House.

“The Secretary of Defense has accepted a Boeing 747 from Qatar in accordance with all federal rules and regulations," Sean Parnell, the chief Pentagon spokesman said in a May 21 statement. "The Department of Defense will work to ensure proper security measures and functional-mission requirements are considered for an aircraft used to transport the President of the United States."
