US Accepts Boeing 747 Gift from Qatar
The US government has officially accepted a Boeing 747 gift from Qatar, with plans to investigate its suitability for President Donald Trump after potential modifications, as reported by The New York Times.
Investigation and Modification Process
According to a spokesperson from the Department of Defense, the aircraft will undergo thorough examination and necessary adjustments to potentially serve as a new presidential plane.
The New York Times stated that this process is expected to be time-consuming and challenging, given the estimated value of the Boeing at around $200 million and its original design as a commercial airliner, not tailored for specialized functions.
