- President Trump announced that the Qatari‑gifted Boeing 747‑8, used as an interim Air Force One, will be taken out of service for roughly 60 days for interior “cosmetic upgrades” and other improvements to make it capable of operating in any territory.
- The aircraft, valued at about $400 million and about 14 years old, last carried Trump on September 16 and was used for his July trip to Turkey, after which Secret Service officials urged him to return on the older, purpose‑built Air Force One for security reasons.
