Trump's New Air Force One Takes Flight

🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 53s

"It just slew on President Trump's brand new Air Force One, NASA Boeing 747, that was gift to the U.S. government by the Qatari. Here's how it went. We took off from Joint Base Andrews in the morning to head to the new Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library in North Dakota. The new plane is Lux. It had a $400 million overhaul to equip it with state-of-the-art security and technology like a new communication The plane used to be the Qatari Royal Family's private jet. The president has shrugged off criticisms from Democrats and Republicans that the Qatari gift poses any security or ethics concerns. This was a gift from a country that's treated us very well and they're an ally of us over in the Middle East, Qatar. And I went to Boeing, I said, who has the best one? They said, Qatar. There's never been a plane like it."
