NBC News - In Doha, Qatar, Trump is
expected to deliver a speech and meet with American troops at the Al
Udeid Air Base. He'll also meet with the Qatari government to discuss
the royal family's gift of a luxury plane worth about $400 million. The
proposed gift has sparked debate in Washington
about whether it would run afoul of the constitutional clause that bars
gifts from foreign nations without congressional approval. Republican
Sen. Ron Johnson called the plane "a pretty strange offer," while Trump
ally Laura Loomer said accepting the gift would be "a strain" on the
administration. Trump described the gift as a "contribution" that the U.S. can't turn down.
Also worth noting: A deal was
finalized last month for a Trump-branded golf course near Doha in
partner with a Saudi Arabian firm, highlighting the Trump Organization's
international ambitions while raising concerns from critics about
profiting from the presidency.
