Donald Trump shook hands while riding in the Airforce One.
US President Donald Trump is going on a Qatar tour this week. Meanwhile, there is a discussion that Trump can take a luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the ruling family of Qatar, which he will use instead of his official aircraft Airforce One. At the same time, the Qatar government spoke of discussion about the transfer of the aircraft, but has denied that Boeing 747-8 Jumbo Jet is given in the gift.
According to the report, Donald Trump will use the Jumbo Jet aircraft of Qatar as his presidential aircraft till shortly before leaving his post in January 2029. After this, ownership will be transferred to the foundation that is overseeing the President’s library to be built so far. This gift is expected to be announced by Trump during a trip to Qatar. Donald Trump is soon visiting Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This will be the first long foreign trip of his second term.
In the midst of this discussion, Qatar’s media Athese Ali al-Ansari has denied such reports. The statement said, “Possible transfer of an aircraft for temporary use as Air Force One is currently being considered between Qatar’s Ministry of Defense and US Defense Department, but the matter is subject to review by the concerned legal departments and no decision has been taken.”
Is it legal to accept gifts?
The Emolurations Claus of the US Constitution prevents any person holding a government post from accepting any kind of salary, gift, position or degree from a king, prince or foreign state without the consent of the US Congress. Kathleen Clarke, an expert at government morality at Washington University School of Law at St. Louis, alleged that Trump believes that he could avoid investigation and described the incident as shocking.
He told AP that Donald Trump is committed to exploit the power of the federal government not for policy goals, but to deposit personal money. Senate Minority Leader Chak Shumor made fun of Trump’s “US First” political slogan. New York’s Democrat said in a statement, “The Air Force One -like ‘America First’ says nothing that is brought by Qatar. It is not just bribe, it is a premium foreign influence with additional legrooms.”
