A White House official stated that the White House's legal team is currently finalizing the details of the gift, working on a memorandum of understanding -- or MOU -- between the United States and Qatar. The Washington Post first reported the news.

Legal teams for the U.S. and Qatari governments are still working out the details of an agreement for Doha to transfer a luxury Boeing 747-8 jet that President Trump hopes to use as Air Force One, more than a week after the Pentagon said it had taken physical possession of the aircraft.
