New Air Force One Gifted by Qatar to Receive 'Maximum' Upgrades, Says Trump
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
President Donald Trump announced that the new Air Force One, gifted by Qatar, will undergo extensive upgrades due to security concerns. Upon returning from the FIFA World Cup final in New Jersey, Trump addressed reporters about the jet's missile defense capabilities, stating it has significant capacity but will be sent for enhancements in about a month. He did not specify the nature of the upgrades. Trump's decision to return from a NATO summit in Turkey on a different presidential aircraft raised questions about the new jet's readiness. The luxurious Boeing 747-8 was gifted in 2025 and is intended as a temporary replacement until new Air Force Ones are delivered by 2028.
