July 1 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump flew to North Dakota on Wednesday on the new plane given to him by Qatar, his first official flight since the plane was made into Air Force One.

His trip to the state is to visit the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library in Medora, N.D., in preparation for its opening on July 4.

Trump will likely tour the library, which is 96,000 square feet, and speak Wednesday as part of the 250th birthday of the United States. Trump will also visit Mount Rushmore in South Dakota on Friday before his flight back home to Washington, D.C.

Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, former governor of North Dakota, requested the $450 million project.
