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

President Donald Trump being offered a luxury plane as a gift from Qatar's royal family has sparked legal scrutiny.

The nation of Qatar offered the Trump administration a Boeing 747-8 for use as Air Force One. Trump called the plane a "gift," in a post on his social media site, Truth Social. A representative of the administration clarified that Qatar "has offered to donate a plane to the Department of Defense," not to Trump himself.
