President Donald Trump would plainly like America to be more like the Gulf states he’s touring on the first big foreign trip of his new term.

The president announced that Qatar, a major non-NATO ally to the U.S., offered the luxury plane—known as "a flying palace"—to the Department of Defense (DOD). Trump says the aircraft is worth $400 million and the assertion has prompted fierce bipartisan pushback.

Qatar’s potential plan to provide a $400 million jumbo jet to the U.S. to use as Air Force One underscores how the tiny Gulf state has managed to diplomatically punch above its weight for years: It has a lot of money and is willing to spend it.

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday a $200 billion deal between Qatar Airways and Boeing, a lifeline for the beleaguered American aerospace giant and a powerful symbol of the diplomatic maneuvering defining his presidency.
