The Air Force has said it spent less than $400 million on security upgrades to the plane, though some experts have estimated the cost is likely closer to $1 billion. The jet is intended to serve as a \u201cbridge\u201d aircraft used temporarily by Trump while Boeing builds two new custom planes that are years behind schedule. The gift has drawn widespread conflict-of-interest concerns, though Trump has claimed it was purely a gift that Qatar seeks nothing in return for. He intends for it to go to his presidential library in Miami after leaving office, though it\u2019s unclear if Trump has the authority to determine its fate.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=1359\">Fed Minutes Signal No Interest Rate Cuts Until 2027\u2014As Renewed Iran Conflict Spikes Rate Hike Odds<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<h2>further reading<\/h2>\n<p>Trump Threatens Fresh Iran Strikes After Declaring Ceasefire \u2018Over\u2019 (Forbes)<\/p>\n<p>Trump Said Gifted Qatari Jet Was \u2018Free\u2019\u2014But Renovation Cost Could Reportedly Near $1 Billion (Forbes)<\/p>\n<p>Republicans Question Trump\u2019s Plan To Accept Luxury Plane Gift From Qatar (Forbes)<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coasttocoastmoverss.com\/?p=1357\">Family Of Nolan Wells, Found Dead Off Mississippi Island, Calls For Transparent Investigation<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump said the Qatari jet would fly to a U.S. base in England so U.S. service members could tour it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1362,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
