Pentagon okays Qatar’s Boeing 747 gift for future Air Force One

It looks like Donald Trump will get the Qatari Boeing 747 he wants after all.

The Pentagon gave the green light on Wednesday to the Qatari government’s offer to provide the plane – estimated to be worth between $200 million and $400 million – as a gift to replace two aging planes that currently serve as Air Force One.

The plane will require as much as $1 billion and several years of work to provide the level of communications and defense capabilities necessary to function as the flying White House required for presidential travel, The New York Times reports.

Democrats have assailed the plan as a conflict of interest, suggesting Qatar expects political favors in return for the gift.

“The Secretary of Defense has accepted a Boeing 747 from Qatar in accordance with all federal rules and regulations,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said.
