Trump Confirms Security Deficiencies in New Air Force One Jet
President Trump confirmed that his new $400 million luxury jet, a gift from the Qatari royal family, lacks anti-missile defense systems and will be sent for security upgrades, contradicting his earlier explanation for abruptly abandoning the aircraft after the NATO summit. A reporter confronted Trump as he boarded the jet after the FIFA World Cup final, prompting him to admit the plane would be 'maxed out' in about a month. The admission aligns with expert warnings that the jet required extensive security enhancements to meet Air Force One standards. Trump had previously claimed he did not fly the jet home from Turkey because U.S. soldiers needed to see it, though reports indicated the Secret Service advised against it due to the resumption of war with Iran. The article also details Trump's awkward attempt to remain in Spain's World Cup victory photos, leading Spanish and FIFA officials to crop him out.
