Qatari Boeing Jet's Presidential Library Display Plan Now Uncertain
The president of the United States gets to ride in very special airplanes.
One of those planes, made by Boeing, was a gift from a country called Qatar.
People say the airplane is worth about $400 million.
The president once promised that after he left his job, the plane would be shown in a special museum, called his presidential library.
Now, it looks like that promise might not happen.
A newspaper called the New York Times reported that the plan is no longer so sure.
A person who works at the White House said no final decision has been made.
That person did not want their name shared because the topic is sensitive.
So right now, nobody knows for sure where the fancy airplane will end up.
A luxury Boeing jet reportedly worth $400 million was gifted to President Trump by Qatar.
Trump once promised the jet would go on permanent display at his presidential library after leaving office.
According to a New York Times report, that plan now appears far less certain.
An anonymous White House official confirmed Wednesday that no final call has been made on which aircraft will go to the library.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the topic.
