President Trump confirmed late Sunday that the Qatar-donated jet serving as Air Force One will have to be taken out of service to boost its anti-missile defenses after he used an earlier-model plane to depart the NATO leaders summit in Turkey earlier this month. “You know it has a lot of capability, but as I understand it, in about a month or so, they’re going to send it to have it be maxed out,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews after returning to Washington from the World Cup final in New Jersey. President Trump remarks after touring the former Qatari Royal Family Boeing 747-8 airliner, now refurbished as Air Force One, at the Presidential Airlift Group hangar at Joint Base Andrews, June 19, 2026, in Clinton, Maryland.
