The nation of Qatar offered the Trump administration a Boeing 747-8 for use as Air Force One. Trump called the plane a "gift," in a post on his social media site, Truth Social. A representative of the administration clarified that Qatar "has offered to donate a plane to the Department of Defense," not to Trump himself.

President Trump announced business deals in Qatar including an agreement for Qatar Airways to buy 160 Boeing planes. The White House later said the deal is a $96 billion agreement to acquire up to 210 Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777X aircraft and that it was Boeing’s largest widebody plane order.
