Mike Pence Catari Jet Gift “Bad Idea” Trump should give up

Vice -president Mike Pence said on Sunday that the president Donald Trump should refuse the gift of $ 400 million Jet by the royal family of Qatarquoting fears of national security.

“Qatar has a long history of the game on both sides,” Pence said in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press. “The very idea that we would accept the Air Force from Qatar, I think it is incompatible with our security, with the needs of our intelligence … I think this is just a bad idea. My hope is that the president will think better about it.”

Trump’s plan to accept the lavish jet jambo jumbo cause fierce disputes Above the legitimacy, ethics and the effects of national security of what would be the largest foreign gift received by the US government.

Early Trump said any reception of the aircraft would be due to a delay in the US manufacturer BoeingS

“There are deep problems, the potential for collecting intelligence, the need to ensure that the United States President is safe and secure while traveling around the world,” Pence said. “My hope is that the president rethinks him. I think if Qatar wants to make a gift to the United States, they have to take those $ 400 million and enter it into the infrastructure of our military base.”

Experts have warned that turning such an airplane into the Air Force can take years to finish and may cost us the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars in time, NBC reports earlier.

Trump said the plane would be officially given to the US Department of Defense. After Trump has completed his second term as president, ownership of the gift will be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation. In this way, the palace jet will never be owned personally by Trump.

“This very respected country donates the airplane to the Air Force/ Ministry of Defense to the United States, not to me,” Trump said in a publication on Truth Social Sunday. “This is how they save our country, and the US taxpayer, hundreds of millions of dollars.”
