Murphy Introduces Amendment to Prevent Transfer of Gifted Qatari Jet to Trump After His Presidency Ends

WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.)on Thursday introduced an amendment to the FY26 Defense Appropriations bill that would prevent the luxury jet gifted to President Trump by the Qatari government from being transferred to the Trump presidential library after the president leaves office.
“President Trump has already corrupted our foreign policy by accepting a $400 million luxury jet from a foreign government, and now he’s asking taxpayers to foot a $1 billion bill to refurbish that jet before he takes it with him for his own personal use. It’s so plainly corrupt and Republicans in Congress should join with Democrats to stop it,”Murphy said.
