Donald Trump said the new luxury plant gifted to him by Qatar is “much too big” for his personal use.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office at the White House on Wednesday, 28 May, the US president said “Frankly, it’s too big, much too big.”

Mr Trump described the new jet as “beautiful, big, magnificent.”

The Republican accepted the Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet, valued at $400m, as a gift from the Qatari royal family during his trip to Middle East.
