Trump’s Qatar Jet Returns to Spotlight | Philadelphia News

Trump’s headed to Ireland next week — and he’s flying on the very same Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar, despite lingering security concerns and a July incident that forced him to secretly switch planes in Turkey. Though upgrades were promised, no timeline exists — and they may be delayed past the election. With campaign travel ramping up, Trump’s expected to use this Qatari jet more often, even as the U.S. has already poured $400 million into retrofitting it. The Ireland trip also has a personal twist: he’ll attend the Irish Open at his own golf course. While the White House insists the plane is secure, the secrecy around last summer’s switch and the lack of confirmed upgrades keep raising eyebrows.
