Defense News on MSNExperts: Qatar-gifted Air Force One may be security, upgrade disasterUpgrading a Qatar-donated 747 into a new Air Force One would take a large sum of money and years to complete, aviation experts said.
President Donald Trump defended Qatar gifting the U.S. a jet to use as Air Force One as the new fleet is still under construction.

Donald Trump may soon receive a $400 million Boeing 747-8, dubbed a "flying palace," from Qatar, potentially circumventing constitutional restrictions on foreign gifts. Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly devised a plan involving the US Air Force temporarily owning the jet before transferring it to Trump's presidential library foundation.
