Claim:
Qatar has gifted a Boeing 747 to Donald Trump for his personal use.

Determination:
❌ False

Current Status of the Aircraft

  • Aircraft Details: The Boeing 747-8, formerly registered as P4-HBJ, was part of Qatar’s Amiri Flight fleet. It is currently located at San Antonio International Airport, where it is undergoing preparations for potential use as a U.S. government aircraft. The Washington Post

  • Ownership & Control: As of now, the aircraft remains under Qatari ownership. Negotiations are ongoing between the U.S. Department of Defense and Qatar’s Ministry of Defence regarding the potential donation of the aircraft to the U.S. government. The Washington Post

Clarifying Misconceptions

  • Not a Personal Gift: Even if the donation proceeds, the aircraft would be transferred to the U.S. government, not to any individual, including Donald Trump. Its use would be determined by the U.S. Air Force and the White House Military Office, not by any private party.

  • Use by Sitting President: Speculation that the plane will be used by Trump again as a future Air Force One stems from delays in Boeing’s delivery of the next official presidential aircraft. However, the plane is not designated as “Trump Force One” or his personal aircraft in any official capacity.

Conclusion

The claim that Qatar has gifted a Boeing 747 to Donald Trump for his personal use is false. The aircraft remains under Qatari ownership, and while discussions are ongoing about its potential donation to the U.S. government, no final agreement has been reached. If the donation occurs, the aircraft would serve official U.S. government purposes and would not be under the personal control or ownership of Donald Trump.
