Qatar Offers Trump a $400 Million Luxury Jet
President Trump is in the Middle East on the first major international trip of his second term. At the same time, a firestorm has erupted over his plan to accept a $400 million luxury airplane from the Qatari government.
Today, Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent, explains how the free plane may set a problematic precedent — and what Qatar might expect in return.
Guest: Maggie Haberman, a White House correspondent for The New York Times.
Background reading:
- Republicans on Capitol Hill seem unlikely to challenge President Trump, as he courts gifts and pushes guardrails.
- When pressed on the ethical implications of accepting a luxury jet, Mr. Trump said only someone “stupid” would turn down such an offer.
