Donald Trump Compares Qatar Gift to Statue of Liberty
🎙️ Voice is AI-generated. Inconsistencies may occur.
President Donald Trump has defended accepting a Boeing 747 from Qatar, comparing it to the Statue of Liberty.
The president reshared a post on Truth Social noting that the statue was gifted to the U.S. from France. The post included an edited picture showing the statue with a sign around its neck reading: “Gift from a foreign nation.”
Trump also defended accepting the gift while speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity on board Air Force One during his trip to the Middle East on Tuesday.
“When you land and you see Saudi Arabia, and you see UAE, and you see Qatar and you see all these, they have these brand-new 747s mostly. And you see ours next to it. This is like a totally different plane. It’s much smaller, it’s much less impressive, as impressive as it is,” he told Hannity.
“We’re the United States of America. I believe that we should have the most impressive plane… Some people say, ‘you shouldn’t accept gifts for the country.’ My attitude is why wouldn’t I accept a gift?”
