Escalation: Trump recommits to Qatari 747 for Ireland trip
Donald Trump will take the Boeing 747 Qatar gifted to serve as his Air Force One on an international trip to Ireland next week. It will be his first overseas use of the jet since questions were raised about its defensive protections in July.
In July he switched to another aircraft after a possible Iranian threat and said the Qatar jet would be taken out of service for added security upgrades. Flying it to Ireland next week resumes overseas use of the plane.
