President Trump responded aggressively to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's call for an investigation into a controversial $400 million plane gift from Qatar, which Schumer labeled a serious national security risk. While on a visit to the Persian Gulf, Trump dismissed Schumerâs concerns and criticized his confidence. Schumer emphasized the need for clarity regarding the security of this aircraft, questioning the implications of receiving a foreign-funded plane and the integrity of its security measures.
Schumer stated that the plane is not just naked corruption, it is also a grave national security threat.
Trump attacked Schumer during a press gaggle, referring to him as having lost his confidence and suggesting something wrong with him.
Schumer laid out critical questions regarding the security of the Qatari-funded plane and the risks of trusting a foreign country.
Trump responded dismissively to Schumer's concerns, framing his attack on the senator as personal rather than addressing the underlying issues.
