Trump messages at a glance: plan to accept luxury jet from Qatar, criticize allies and rivals | Trump Administration

Donald Trump flew into another ethical mine field after pointing out that he is preparing to accept a luxury -boing -jet from the royal family of Katar for use as Air Force One, despite strict rules for US presidential gifts.

The “flying palace” may be the most expensive gift that the American government has ever received, ABC News reported.

Laura Loomer, a right-wing extremist ally of Trump, said that the acceptance of Katar's aircraft was a “coloring” for the administration and added that Qatar “financed the same Iranian deputies in the Hamas and the Hisbollah, who murdered the US service members.

The Democratic National Committee said that the move was proof of Trump to use the White House for personal financial profit, while democratic legislators beat the plan as “wild illegal” and “corruption in sight”.

Here are today's key stories at a glance:


Trump indicates that he is ready to accept “palace in the sky”.

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

They are the first African-one white minority in South Africa, which in February issued an executive regulation in which the black government of South Africa was accused by racial discrimination against them. The South African government said it was “completely wrong” that Africans are being persecuted.
