The Trump administration is currently in discussions with Qatar regarding the potential donation of a Boeing 747-8 aircraft to serve as a temporary Air Force One. While no final agreement has been reached, the matter is under review by legal departments from both the U.S. Department of Defense and Qatar’s Ministry of Defense. Ethics experts have raised concerns that such a gift could violate the U.S. Constitution’s Emoluments Clause, which prohibits federal officials from accepting gifts from foreign governments without congressional approval. Qatar has denied that a decision has been made, stating that the transfer is still under consideration. President Trump is scheduled to visit Qatar this week as part of a Middle East tour.
