The Pentagon has accepted a $400 million luxury Boeing jet from Qatar, which will eventually be used as a new Air Force One. Ethics experts have raised concerns over the legality of the gift, as well as the cost of retrofitting the plane, which could cost upwards of $1 billion. The aircraft will eventually be transferred to Trump’s presidential library, where he can continue using it after leaving office. Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked a bill authored by Democratic leader Chuck Schumer that would have barred the Pentagon from spending any taxpayer money on the jet.
