Trump administration poised to accept 'palace in the sky' as a gift for Trump from Qatar: Sources
In 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 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar -- a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News.
The gift had been expected to be announced next week, when Trump visits Qatar on the first foreign trip of his second term, according to sources familiar with the plans. But a senior White House official said the gift will not be presented or gifted while the president is in Qatar this week.
Trump toured the plane, which is so opulently configured it is known as "a flying palace," while it was parked at the West Palm Beach International Airport in February.
Kings live in Palace's.

It won't happen he is sending a message to Boeing. They won the contract for Air Force One in 2018 and now the finish date is 2029. It keeps getting pushed back. Current Air Force One is 40 years old and requires a lot of maintenance.
