Trump's critics and supporters unite against Qatar plane deal

  • President Trump faces criticism from both supporters and opponents over the reported gift of a $400 million Qatari Boeing 747 jet in early 2025.
  • The gift offer coincides with Trump's Middle East trip focused on business deals despite federal law restricting government workers from accepting gifts over $20.
  • Trump's team claims the jet would be legally donated first to the Department of Defense, then to his presidential library, but concerns about personal and family enrichment persist.
  • Critics, including senators from both parties, describe the deal as potentially corrupt, with investments in the Middle East reaching up to $1 trillion and Gulf ties tripling since his presidency.
  • The controversy underscores broader worries about conflicts of interest and political integrity amid Trump's business dealings and polarization of public opinion.
