“Possible aircraft transfer to temporary use as aviation is currently considered between the Qatar Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Defense of the US, but the matter remains considered by the relevant legal departments, and the decision was not made,” the official official of the Qatar Embassy, but Al-Ansari, said ABC News.
For decades, the presidents have bypassed the clause on fees by sorting the gifts they receive while on duties as gifts to the President’s Office. These gifts are then cataloged and stored as part of their presidential libraries after leaving duties. While the presidents maintain a certain level of access to objects in their libraries, they do not own them directly and have to buy them from the Federal Government to ensure private property.
If the jet entered the Trump presidential library, it is not clear how the costs would be allocated to maintain and use costs.
