President Donald Trump's plan to accept a luxury jet from Qatar to serve as a temporary Air Force One has raised legal and security concerns, clouding his Middle East tour.On Wednesday, the president touted Qatar's purchase of about 200 planes from Boeing, saying "It's the largest order of jets in the history of Boeing, that's pretty good." But it's another plane that's raising eyebrows at home.In an interview on Fox News Channel's "Hannity," Trump defended his decision to accept the $400 million Boeing 747 from Qatar, stating, "We'll have a relatively new plane instead of having 40-year-old planes... My attitude is, why wouldn't I accept the gift? We're giving to everybody else. Why wouldn't I accept the gift? Because it's going to be a couple of years before the Boeings are finished."Legal experts argue that accepting the gift could violate the Constitution's Foreign Emoluments Clause. Stephen Wermiel, a constitutional law professor at American University, said, "The Constitution says the president and other officials can't accept gifts from foreign governments unless Congress approves."Trump contends that the gift is intended for the Defense Department, not him, but some view it as a direct violation. Wermiel added, "I think the Constitution is pretty direct on this point."Republican lawmakers are divided on the issue. Rep. Mike Johnson, House Speaker, said, "It's not my lane," while Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri expressed opposition, stating, "I could come up with a long list of things Qatar could do for us that would be a lot more valuable than a plane. So I'd say 'No' to the plane. Let's build the plane in the United States."Democrats have raised national security concerns, emphasizing the need to ensure the plane is free from surveillance devices. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, "You'd have to dismantle the plane they gave us down to every screw and every ratchet to see if they put little devices in there."Sen. Schumer also noted that securing the Qatari plane could cost more than purchasing new U.S. planes in two years. The president said he wouldn't be flying the gifted plane around when his term ends; instead, it would be donated to a future presidential library.
