Trump’s acceptance of Qatar jet gift is ‘definition of corruption’, senator says

The recent $400 million jet from Qatar that Donald Trump accepted has drawn sharp criticism from Democrats, who argue it exemplifies corruption. Senior Republicans, including Chris Murphy and Rand Paul, have joined in lambasting the gift as it highlights Trump’s foreign policy decisions and his relationship with Gulf states. Meanwhile, Trump defends the offer, insisting it aligns with his promise to address issues like trade and human rights but expressing concern that accepting such gifts may signal weakness or a shift toward authoritarian policies.
