Trump continues to defend Qatar gifting US ‘impressive’ $400M Boeing 747 jet

president Donald Trump continued to defend his decision to accept a plane of $ 400 million from Qatar during an exclusive interview with Sean Hanity at Air Force One on Tuesday.

Trump has received a violent reaction to the planning of the Jumbo Boeing 747-8 plane from the Qatari royal family since the outbreak of the gift erupted on Sunday.

“Now, some people say,” Oh, you should not accept gifts to the country. “My position, why do I not accept the gift? The president said to Hannity.

The luxury plane, which was presented to the United States, will work for the delay in Boeing production for the new Air One fleet, as a temporary means of transportation so that the current presidential plane should not be transported.

Trump said that AF1 is nearly 40 years old and appears “less impressive” compared to aircraft in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

“You know, we are the United States of America. I think we should have a more impressive plane,” Trump told Hannity.

In addition to Boeing running behind the delivery of the new fleet, Jumbo Jet is a gift for the Ministry of Defense for a “good job” in the success of Qatar’s success for “many years”, Trump added to the social truth a few hours after the interview.

“Why should our army, and thus our taxpayers have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars when they can get it free from a country that wants to reward us to get a good work.”

Trump said that the plane will be retired to the presidential library as soon as Boeing handed its new AF1 fleet.
