Trump reports to accept “Palace in the Heaven” as a gift from Qatar | Donald Trump

According to reports, Donald Trump is ready to accept a luxury plane that is described as a “palace in the sky”, which is offered to the US President as a gift from the royal family of Qatar and almost immediately lit accusations for contaminants and corruption as well as appropriate criticism.

On Sunday, ABC reported that the Trump administration quoted several sources of the matter to accept a luxurious Boeing 747-8, a Jumbo jet from the Qatarian Royals, which was estimated at around $ 400 million. Trump would then use the 13-year-old aircraft as a new Air Force shortly before his second Oval Office stay. At this point, it would be transferred to its presidential library at the latest.

The Luxury Gift from Qatar is expected to be announced next week while Trump's three-day tour of the Middle East, which includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, ABC.

Trump visited the opulent aircraft in February, while it was parked at West Palm Beach International Airport, ABC added.

Assuming that Trump accepts the plane as planned, the Jumbo jet would first transfer to the US air weapon so that the military branch can configure the aircraft so that it fulfills the specifications required for the presidential trip, ABCS sources said to the network. The network added that all costs associated with its transfer were paid by the US air weapon, which receives a significant part of the income generated by the federal taxpayers.

According to the Sources of ABC, Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi and his top lawyer of the White House David Warrington were prevented from the conclusion that Trump is “legally permissible” to accept the luxury gift and then transfer it to his presidential library.

According to reports, both of them came to this conclusion after lawyers from the White House office and the Ministry of Justice said that the talented aircraft was not conditioned by an official act and was therefore not bribe.

These lawyers have designed an analysis for Defense Minister Pete Hegseth, who repeated that nothing had violated the aircraft against federal laws that prohibit the US government officials to accept gifts from foreign states or their royals. In fact, according to the ABC sources, Bondi's reading was that the aircraft of the US air weapon and then the Trump's presidential library and not to its boss himself.

Nevertheless, reports on the extremely unusual, if not even unprecedented gift, which Trump had made her blessing had made possible for him to have triggered a wave of criticisms towards the president.

The democratic congress member Jamie Raskin from Maryland said: “Trump has to obtain the consent of the congress in order to take this 300 million US dollar from Qatar. The constitution is completely clear: not a presence of any kind, whatever a foreign state without a congress permit.

The democratic survey Matt McDermott repeated similar feelings and said: “Literally speechless …

“A foreign regime that gives a former president a jet. It is bribery in bright daylight.”

McDermott noted that the Trump organization led by the President's children had only announced a new 5.5 billion golf course in Qatar days earlier.

“Today: Qatar” Gifts “a luxury jet. Certainly just a coincidence,” said McDermott.

In the meantime, Harvard University International Security Professor Juliette Kayyem said: “The surveillance and security aspects are also annoying as the gripping.”

The CNN security analyst added that “Qatar certainly offers an airplane that also meets your needs.”

Jonathan Reiner, a medical analyst of CNN, went to X and said: “Air Force One is an Air Force aircraft. A military aircraft. It is not intended to be a palace because the United States has no king.”

Similarly, the New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman and the productive Trump Scoopster wrote that the aircraft in question “was probably the most expensive gift from a foreign government in the history of US history and will probably raise questions from right -wing experts”.

She added: “If Trump continued to use it out of office, it would have access to a much more modern plane than Trump Force One”, a private Boeing 757 that was built in 1991 that belongs to the organization led by his sons.
