Qatar's prime minister on Tuesday, May 20 rejected criticism of the wealthy Gulf country's offer to US President Trump of a $400 million luxury aircraft to serve as a new Air Force One.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani defended the gift as "an exchange between two countries", adding that he viewed the issue as a "normal thing that happens between allies". He denied accusations of "bribery" or "that Qatar wants to buy influence with this administration"
