Trump's Qatari Jet Secure From 'Enemies Of America'But Questions Remain

The White House, which briefly grounded the new Air Force One gifted by Qatar, assured Forbes the plane was safe from the many enemies of America who have their sights on Trump, but questions have emerged over whether it has met the necessary security upgrades. According to White House communications director Stephen Chung, the jet gifted to Trump by Qatar last year has been equipped with high-level security upgrades to safeguard the president He noted that many enemies of America are targeting Trump, though he declined to provide specific details regarding the upgrades or their costs. The Air Force began security upgrades to the jet in September, just 10 months before its first flight, in what experts have considered an unusually quick turnaround, saying it would modify it for executive airlift support, but that all other details of the renovations were classified. Air Force Secretary Troy Mink told Congress last year that the jet's upgrades would likely cost under $400 million, yet some aviation experts and democratic lawmakers estimate the total cost of renovations to be closer to $1 billion. Trump took his first flight on the new Air Force One last week on a trip to North Dakota, before taking it on its first international flight to Turkey for the NATO summit. Amid reignited tensions with Iran, Trump reportedly travelled part of the way home on the old Air Force One, before switching to the Qatari jet, following safety advice from the Secret Service. Now, although Trump claimed he chose the older aircraft for old time's sake, he also informed reporters in Ankara that he is number one on the kill list for Iran.
