A spokeswoman for the White House Karoline Leavitt on Monday confirmed that Qatar proposed the transfer of the US aircraft. She added that the details in this matter are still being developed.


“The Qatarian government kindly proposed to hand over the aircraft to the Ministry of Defense. Legal details in this matter are constantly developed,” Leavitt said in an interview with Fox News.
The day before, ABC News television said that US President Donald Trump is ready to accept a luxurious Boeing 747-8 as a gift from Qatar authorities.
It would be The most expensive gift from a foreign country in US history. The machine would first serve as the presidential Air Force One aircraft, and later it would be handed over to the foundation to the presidential library.
US President Donald Trump said on Monday that he would be stupid if he did not take the plane from Qatar. The kingdom offered him a luxurious Boeing 747-8. The US Constitution prohibits administration members to receive gifts from “princes, kings or foreign countries”.
The machine named by the media of the flying palace is to replace the presidential Air Force One aircraft and may turn out to be the most expensive gift offered to the United States Government – explains AFP.
“I think it is a beautiful gesture on the part of Qatar. I am very grateful. I do not belong to people who refuse to accept such an offer. I could be stupid and say +no, we do not want us to give a very expensive plane +” – said Trump.
The plan to accept Boeing from the Qatarian royal family caused protests of even some Republicans and particularly controversial supporters of Trump, such as the scandalous, extremely right -wing activist and online celebrity Laura Loomer – comments the daily “The Hill”.
“I love President Trump. I would be shot for him. (…) But we can't take from jihadists + a gift + for $ 400 million” – wrote Loomer on platform X. “The largest lobby in Washington is a lobby of Qatar. We observe in real time Islamic takeover of our country” – she added.
A spokeswoman for the White House Karoline Leavitt earlier confirmed that Qatar proposed the transfer of the US aircraft. She added that the details in this matter are still being developed. The machine would first serve as the presidential Air Force One aircraft, and later it would be handed over to the foundation to the presidential library.
“The Hill” notes, however, that Loomer has already led to the dismissal of high -ranking officials of the National Security Council (NSC), and at the beginning of April she made it clear that she was also behind the release of the management of the National Security Agency (Supreme Administrative Court) and “showed that it has a significant impact on Trump.”
Loomer is known for their outrageous, including racist statements, as well as for conspiracy theories, including On the attacks of September 11, 2001, for some period of the campaign before the presidential election in 2024 she was seen alongside Trump and traveled with him by his plane; He maintains that although the president wanted to hire her several times in the White House, his staff boycotted this decision.
