'Excited' Trump Takes First Flight on Qatar-Gifted Air Force One | Dawn News English

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he was thrilled to make his first flight aboard his new Air Force One plane, thanking Qatar for the controversial gift of the luxury jet. Trump said the United States “couldn’t build a plane like this” — despite the fact that the heavily modified Boeing 747-8 aircraft was originally made there. “To be honest with you, I’m excited about the first flight. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it,” Trump told journalists travelling with him, including an AFP photographer, ahead of a trip to North Dakota. #donaldtrump #airforceones #qatar #USPolitics #WorldNews #trumpupdate #boeing747 #whitehouse --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
