U.S. President Donald Trump used the Boeing 747-8 gifted by Qatar for the first time.

Oxu.Az reports citing Reuters.

"To be honest, we couldn't have built such a plane ourselves because we wouldn't have been willing to spend the required amount. They invested big money. They did everything worthy of a president, ensuring security and all additional measures, very complex technological systems," the White House chief said while on board the aircraft, speaking about the Qatari authorities.

Note that the value of the Boeing 747-8 jet is estimated at $400 million, making it potentially the most valuable gift ever given to the U.S. government by a foreign state.
