YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar.
When pressed by ABC News’ Rachel Scott, Pres. Trump called it a "very nice gesture."
"I think it's a great gesture from Qatar. Appreciate it very much. I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer," Trump said. "I mean, I could be a stupid person and say, 'No, we don't want a free, very expensive airplane.' But ... I thought it was a great gesture."
Trump had previously toured the plane, which is so opulently configured that it is known as "a flying palace."
