Trump’s plan to accept a $400 million plane from Qatar has ignited a full-blown firestorm among Democrats in Congress

Donald Trump hailed the Syrian president as a “young, attractive guy” after the first meeting between the nations’ leaders in 25 years.The meeting in Riyadh on Wednesday came after the president made a surprise announcement that the U.

The U.S. has grown closer to Qatar in recent years, so much so that the tiny nation has been at the forefront of high-stakes peace negotiations between global powers.

Jealous Donald Trump has moaned Air Force One is no longer “impressive enough”, wanting a free jet from Qatar to look as good as the royals. As controversy grew around the $402 million Boeing 747 offered by the Middle East country,

Iran “must stop sponsoring terror, halt its bloody proxy wars and permanently and verifiably cease pursuit of nuclear weapons,” Trump said in remarks at a meeting of leaders from the Gulf Cooperation Council hosted by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Saudi capital. “They cannot have a nuclear weapon.”

US President Donald Trump signed a host of economic and bilateral cooperation agreements in Saudi Arabia as he kicked off a four-day Middle East trip with a focus on dealmaking with a key Mideast ally.

In May 2025, the nation of Qatar gave the Department of Defense a Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet to be remodeled into a new Air Force One.

President Donald Trump would plainly like America to be more like the Gulf states he’s touring on the first big foreign trip of his new term.
