Though, recent updates indicate that this plan has changed. Eric Trump stated that bringing the Qatar jet to the library is not currently planned, and instead, an older, decommissioned Air Force One will be displayed. A White House official confirmed that no final decision has been made regarding the aircraft&#8217;s future. <\/p>\n<p>Qatar had gifted the Boeing 747 to the U.S. after delays in producing a new Air Force One, and Trump had announced his intention to use the gifted plane until leaving office before placing it in his library. Trump justified the gesture as a show of gratitude for the U.S. helping Middle Eastern allies like Qatar, signaling the plane would be part of his library, though recent statements suggest or else.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\">Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> commitment to transfer <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/qatar\/\">Qatar\u2019s<\/a> newly gifted Air Force One to his presidential library after his second term ends appears to have been backtracked on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In May 2025, Trump <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Hm1R6lTZQmM\">promised<\/a> that the $400 million luxury jet would be decommissioned after his term wraps up and displayed at the library that his son, Eric Trump,<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EricTrump\/status\/2038773279788331022?lang=en\"> is developing <\/a>in Miami.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4678320\/qatar-air-force-one-trump-library-display\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Qatari Air Force One faces uncertain future with no decision on Trump Presidential Library display<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4677788\/white-house-launches-fraud-gov-to-track-fraud-cases\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>White House launches Fraud.gov to track fraud cases<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4677413\/tucker-carlson-pitches-10-point-vision-for-third-party-movement-united-anti-war\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Tucker Carlson pitches 10-point vision for third-party movement<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an update this week, Eric Trump said bringing the Qatar jet to the presidential library \u201cis not the plan at the moment.\u201d He indicated that an older, decommissioned Air Force One would be put on display, in a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/donald-trump\/trump-will-display-old-air-force-one-library-son-says-leaving-qatari-j-rcna587312\">text message<\/a> to NBC News.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following Eric Trump\u2019s comments, a White House official told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> that \u201cno final decision has been made yet\u201d about the future of the new Air Force One.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qatar gifted the Boeing 747 luxury jet to the Pentagon in 2025, and it was <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3398308\/trump-redo-qatar-plane-air-force-one-boeing\/\">converted for use <\/a>as the new Air Force One, after Boeing\u2019s work to build a similar new aircraft for the government faced costly delays.
