Trump’s AF1 Move Leaves Former Air Force Secretary Stunned

A former Air Force official has weighed in on the controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s new jet from his Qatari pals.

Frank Kendall, the Air Force secretary during the Biden administration, said he was stunned to see the 80-year-old president use a new aircraft gifted by Qatar when he flew to Turkey for the NATO summit.

Trump used the Qatari jet to attend the high-level summit in Ankara but opted for the old Air Force One on his trip back home to the U.S., triggering questions about safety as speculation mounted that the new plane lacks the defensive capabilities of the current VC-25 presidential aircraft.
