Qatari Air Force One faces uncertain future at Trump library
President Donald Trump’s commitment to transfer Qatar’s newly gifted Air Force One to his presidential library after his second term ends appears to have been backtracked on.
TL;DR
- President Trump initially promised the newly gifted Air Force One from Qatar would be displayed at his presidential library.
- Eric Trump recently stated that bringing the Qatar jet to the presidential library is "not the plan at the moment."
- An older, decommissioned Air Force One is now suggested for display at the library.
- A White House official claims no final decision has been made on the jet's future.
- Qatar gifted the luxury jet to the Pentagon in 2025, which was converted for use as the new Air Force One.
- Trump took his first ride in the plane on July 1 and stated it was a gesture of good faith from Qatar.
