White House and Qatar in Talks Over Presidential Jet for Trump Administration
White House and Qatar in Talks Over Presidential Jet for Trump Administration The White House is currently engaged in discussions with Qatar’s royal family over the potential transfer of a luxury jumbo jet for use as Air Force One during President Trump’s second term. While initial reports hinted that the aircraft might be a gift, Qatar clarified that the plane would not be donated but rather made available for “temporary use” as part of ongoing talks between the two governments. Qatar’s Media Attaché to the United States, Ali Al-Ansari, stated that negotiations are continuing between Qatar’s Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Department of Defense. “The matter remains under review by the respective legal departments, and no decision has been made,” he confirmed. The deal, if completed, is expected to see the aircraft eventually transferred to Trump’s presidential library once his term ends, according to reporting by CBS News. This development comes as President Trump prepares for a high-profile visit to Qatar, part of his first major foreign tour since returning to office. The jet under discussion is reportedly a version of the Boeing 747-8, a newer and significantly more advanced model than the two Boeing 747-200B planes currently serving as Air Force One. ABC News described the plane as having been upgraded into a “flying palace.” While the aircraft could be a major upgrade, it won’t be immediately ready for use. Sources told CBS News that it will need retrofitting and extensive security clearance before the president can travel in it. The arrangement is also likely to provoke scrutiny, with legal experts and ethics watchdogs raising questions over the propriety and transparency of such a transfer. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, addressed the matter on Sunday. “Any gift given by a foreign government is always accepted in full compliance with all applicable laws. President Trump's Administration is committed to full transparency,” she said. The U.S. Air Force’s current presidential aircraft have been in service since 1990 and 1991 and include a range of customized features such as secure communications systems, a stateroom, and a mobile command center. Traditionally, these planes continue in use across multiple administrations. Only one retired Air Force One jet has ever been donated to a presidential library—the Reagan Library—after serving seven U.S. presidents. Qatar has a history of gifting aircraft to allies; in 2018, the Gulf state gave a luxury jet to Turkey. The talks with the U.S. may be rooted in the strong diplomatic ties established during Trump’s first term, which included a major purchase of American airplanes by Qatar announced in 2019. The deal also surfaces amid frustrations expressed by Trump over Boeing’s delays in delivering two 747-8s that were initially ordered during his first presidency. In February, Trump criticized the manufacturer, saying, “No, I’m not happy with Boeing. It takes them a long time to do, you know, Air Force One, we gave that contract out a long time ago. We may buy a plane or get a plane, or something.” Given the delays from Boeing, the proposed transfer from Qatar could provide a timely solution. However, its political, legal, and diplomatic implications are still under review, and the outcome of the talks remains uncertain. Adapted by ASEAN Now from BBC 2025-05-12 -

Accident Fortuner Driver Killed Instantly After Crashing into Power Pole in Nakhon Sawan
Picture courtesy of Kaoded. A man was killed instantly on the morning of 11 May. after his black Toyota Fortuner veered off a bend and crashed into a power pole in Mueang district, Nakhon Sawan province. Police and rescue officials were called to the scene of the accident at approximately 06:30. The incident occurred on the Nakhon Sawan–Ban Kaeng Road in front of the Iceland Project Village 8, Wat Sai subdistrict. Investigators from Mueang Nakhon Sawan Police Station, along with rescue workers from the Guan Yu Foundation and medical personnel from Sawanpracharak Hospital, arrived to find the SUV badly wrecked. The vehicle had struck the pole with such force that it crumpled into a V-shape, leaving the driver trapped and deceased inside. Police identified the driver as Mr. Natthakankorn Thong-aramthitichot, 41. CCTV footage reviewed by officers showed the Fortuner travelling at high speed before the drive failed to negotiate a curve in the road, crashing directly into the pole. Pol Col Sedthawut Rodchan, superintendent of Mueang Nakhon Sawan Police Station, stated that initial investigations suggest the driver may not have been familiar with the route. The curve where the crash occurred is known to be visually deceptive, possibly contributing to the fatal loss of control. The body was later removed from the wreckage and taken to Sawanpracharak Hospital for further examination. Police continue to investigate the exact circumstances of the crash.

I dont have proof, but he might be funding some of the anti-Trump threads on AN. Because he may have been behind BLM, and we have a BLM on here.
