President Donald Trump has said that Qatar is "donating" its Boeing 747 to the U.S. and not to him personally, as the fallout from the potential transaction continues. On Sunday, reports emerged that Trump was to accept the Boeing 747-8, which will be retrofitted with state-of-the-art security and communications to serve as Air Force One.

President Trump said Qatar is "giving us a gift" and "I could be a stupid person and say, oh no, we don't want a free plane."

The people of France gifted the Statue of Liberty to the American people, not to the US government or one government official
