A $96 billion deal with Qatar Airways comes as Boeing struggles to deliver its Air Force One replacement and Trump seems poised to accept a Boeing jet from the Qatari royal family.

Converting a luxury jet gifted by Qatar to President Donald Trump into a replacement for Air Force One could potentially cost hundreds of millions of dollars and it could take up two years to install the necessary security equipment,

Donald Trump may soon receive a $400 million Boeing 747-8, dubbed a "flying palace," from Qatar, potentially circumventing constitutional restrictions on foreign gifts. Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly devised a plan involving the US Air Force temporarily owning the jet before transferring it to Trump's presidential library foundation.
