“The Qatar government was kindly offered to donate a plane to the Ministry of Defense. The legal details of this are still being settled, ”Levit said
The Qatar It was offered to donate an aircraft to the United States and the details are being resolved, White House spokesman Caroline Levit said today.
“The Qatar government was kindly offered to donate a plane to the Ministry of Defense. Its legal details are still being settled, “he told Fox News.
However, Qatar denied reports of US media that Donald Trump’s government is preparing to accept a luxury jet from the royal family of the country in the coming days.
ABC News said yesterday that a luxurious Boeing 747-8 jumbo would be made available to President Donald Trump to replace the Air Force One, and then he would be granted to the President’s institution so that he can use it after his departure.
However, Ali al-Anchari, a Qatar-type follower in the US, told Politico that reports were “inaccurate”, suggesting that the donation has not yet been finalized.
‘The possible transfer of an aircraft for temporary use as Air Force One It is currently examined between the Ministry of Defense of Qatar and the US Department of Defense, but the matter remains under consideration by the respective legal services and no decision has been made, “he said.
The value of the aircraft amounts to $ 400 million, according to the ABC, and according to the US network its announcement for free was to be announced during Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to the Middle East.
A person with knowledge of the matter, however, said that no announcement was scheduled during the US president’s visit to Qatar.
It is recalled that Donald Trump is going to make a four -day trip to the Middle East shortly, with stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
A US official with immediate knowledge of the matter confirmed that there were talks on the possibility that Qatar’s Emir would donate the plane to Trump to use it as Air Force One, while a former US official who also knows the issue said in the talks. They both spoke on the condition of anonymity, as they have no authorization to talk about the matter, which is sensitive.
Citing the remuneration clause included in the Constitution, some Democratic executives on the occasion of reports released on Sunday, accused Trump and his government of engaging in corruption and corruption.
“Nothing says” first America “like the Air Force One, which brought you Qatar,” Senate’s minority leader Chuck Sumer wrote in a post on X. “It is not just a bribery, it is a foreshadowed foreign influence with additional space.”
Senator Adam Sif (Democrat from California), which is a frequent target of US president’s rage, accused Trump of violating the clause (in Article 1 of the Constitution), which prohibits any federal, without the approval of Congress.
“It seems quite clear that a $ 400 million” Air Palace “from a foreign emir meets the conditions,” he wrote in X. “Corruption is shameful.”
