JOINT BASE ANDREWS, United States: US President Donald Trump said Sunday his new Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet needed to be sent off for a month to be “maxed out,” after reports of security concerns on a trip to Turkiye. Trump took his first flight on the retrofitted Boeing 747-8 plane on July 1, but questions swirled after he took an older jet home from a NATO meeting in Ankara on July 10. The New York Times reported that the new plane lacked the same security countermeasures, including anti-missile defenses. Its reporters were then subpoenaed by the Trump administration.

Trump recently had to switch to the old Air Force One jet while flying out of Turkey amid purported concerns about the new plane’s missile defense capabilities.

Trump’s answer to a reporter confirms that the plane he got from Qatar still has lots of security issues.
