Donald Trump angered by scrutiny of Qatar‑gifted $400 million jet

President Donald Trump is reported to be “fuming” and embarrassed after journalists revealed that the Qatar‑donated Boeing 747, valued at $400 million, lacks critical security features such as anti‑missile capabilities. The plane’s deficiencies forced a switch to another aircraft after the NATO summit in Turkey.

In response, the White House issued subpoenas to four New York Times reporters who covered the story, a move described as “highly unusual.” FBI Director Kash Patel met with White House officials and spoke with Trump about the leak investigation. The episode has drawn sharp criticism and raised concerns about press freedom and the handling of a foreign‑gifted presidential aircraft.
