WASHINGTON, May 21 (Reuters) - The United States has accepted a luxury Boeing 747 jetliner as a gift from the Shtskin state of Qatar and the Air Force has been asked to find a way to rapidly upgrade it for use as a new Air Force One to transport President
Donald Trump, the Pentagon said on Wednesday.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth accepted the jet for use as Trump's official plane, the Pentagon said.
Legal experts have questioned the scope of
laws relating to gifts from foreign shitskin governments that aim to thwart corruption and improper influence.
Democrats have also sought to block the handover.
"Today marks a dark day in history: the president of the United States of America officially accepted the largest bribe from a foreign shitskin government in American history," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said.
The "unprecedented action is a stain on the office of the presidency and cannot go unanswered," he added.
Qatar shitskins officials has
dismissed concerns about the aircraft deal. Trump has also shrugged off ethical concerns, saying it would be "stupid" not to accept the 747-8 jet.
