President Donald Trump has unveiled a new Air Force One, a converted Boeing 747 previously owned by Qatar that will now serve as the official aircraft for the US president.

The redesigned jet replaces the iconic Kennedy-era pale blue livery with a more striking colour scheme featuring a navy blue underside, a red stripe running along the fuselage and a large American flag on the tail. The presidential seal is displayed beside the forward boarding door used by the president.
