US President Donald Trump has received a unique and surprisingly expensive gift from the Qatari royal family. According to official information from US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, this luxurious Boeing 747-8 aircraft is worth $ 400 million.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed in a statement to CNN that the aircraft has been officially received and will soon be re-equipped as the official aircraft of the US President, Air Force One. According to him, during the re-equipment, the aircraft will be equipped with modern security systems and provide comfort requirements for the president. According to current and former officials, this process will take about two years and may cost several times more than the cost of the aircraft itself.
However, according to CNN sources, the legal agreement for the transfer of the aircraft has not yet been fully finalized and negotiations between the legal teams of both parties are ongoing.
Earlier, on May 12, it was reported that the Qatari royal family intends to give Trump a luxurious Boeing 747-8 aircraft as a gift. This aircraft is distinguished by its unique design and unique amenities, and is nicknamed by many as a “flying palace”.
After Donald Trump uses the aircraft, after the end of his presidential term, its ownership will pass to the Trump Presidential Library Fund and may serve as a historical exhibit in the future.
