The U.S. Air Force has completed modifications to a Boeing 747 donated by Qatar that will serve as a temporary Air Force One for President Trump this summer. The Independent reports the aircraft will retain much of its lavish Qatari royal furnishings, while another Independent piece emphasizes that the modifications are finished and the jet is ready for use. Both sources agree on the Qatar donation and the summer timeline.
