Qatar PM says $400m gifts are 'normal' between friends following Trump jet criticism

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : It's unclear if the aircraft would be a gift to the U.S. or to Trump since it was initially reported it would go to Trump's own presidential library at the end of his term.
55% : It comes after the White House announced that Trump would be accepting the aircraft, described as a "flying palace" due to its luxurious interior, from the Qatari royal family as a replacement for Air Force One.
55% : "The thing that [Trump] can give, of course, is public policy -- weapons deals or whatever.
52% : " Trump also has personal business dealings in Qatar.
49% : " He added: "A lot of nations have gifted the U.S. many things," before appearing to make a joking reference to the Statue of Liberty - which was given to America by the French in 1884. Trump previously insisted throughout his trip to the Gulf that the plane was a present from one of America's key regional allies, describing it as "A GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE" on Truth Social, and saying that only a "stupid person" would have refused it.
26% : "Clearly he [Trump] is trying to make money there, and that puts us in an uncomfortable situation," said Jordan Libowitz, spokesperson for the nonprofit watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
