Can Trump Legally Accept a $400M Jet from Qatar? Controversy Explained

A $400 million luxury Boeing 747-8 jet gifted by Qatar has sparked legal and ethical questions as President Trump considers its acceptance. Critics argue the move may violate the U.S. Constitution's Emoluments Clause, which restricts federal officials from receiving gifts from foreign governments without Congressional approval. The Trump team claims the plane will go to a government department, then to a presidential library, but concerns over constitutionality, security risks, and foreign influence continue to grow across party lines.
