President Donald Trump arrived Wednesday in Qatar, as he’s made clear he wants the $400 million plane the country is expected to gift him, despite bipartisan criticism of security and conflict-of-interest concerns.

The Trump administration will reportedly accept a $400 million Boeing 747 from Qatar to temporarily use as Air Force One.
