Trump acelera la remodelación del Air Force One donado por Qatar pese a problemas de seguridad

El 27 de julio, The New York Times informó que la remodelación acelerada del Boeing 747-8 donado por Qatar, destinado a convertirse en Air Force One, carecía de varias funciones de seguridad esenciales y que el Departamento de Justicia no logró citar a los periodistas que cubrían la historia, según el periódico. El presidente Donald Trump anunció el 19 de julio que el avión, regalado por Qatar, sería enviado a mejoras en aproximadamente un mes, tras dudas sobre sus capacidades de seguridad.

Posteriormente, funcionarios estadounidenses advirtieron de una amenaza creíble de misiles vinculada a Irán, lo que obligó al Servicio Secreto a hacer que Trump utilizara el Air Force One más antiguo para su salida de Turquía. La Casa Blanca y el Pentágono luego apresuraron el programa de modernización, generando preocupaciones sobre sobrecostos y posibles compromisos de seguridad.
