President Donald Trump has said that Qatar is "donating" its Boeing 747 to the U.S. and not to him personally, as the fallout from the potential transaction continues. On Sunday, reports emerged that Trump was to accept the Boeing 747-8, which will be retrofitted with state-of-the-art security and communications to serve as Air Force One.

The United States has taken possession of a Boeing 747 jet gifted by the Qatari government, according to multiple news reports. The Air Force has now been tasked with exploring how quickly the aircraft can be upgraded to serve as a presidential transport for Donald Trump.
