The very same foreign government who hacked Jeff Bezos phone and assassinated a US citizen. Both of which happened during Trumps first term.

No it isn't? That was Saudi Arabia. And Khashoggi wasn't a citizen, just a green card holder. Qatar is mostly known for harbouring the leadership of Hamas

What’s wrong with Hamas? Don’t nearly all Western states have favorable relations with Israel despite the illegal occupation since 1967 and the genocide since 2023? Why pick on the Palestinian government in Gaza? Why would Qatar having relations with them be bad?

Also “oil empire”, get real. Unless you mean the USA.

Qatar is absolutely an oil empire. 60% of their GDP comes from oil.

Either way, regardless of what country it comes from, using a gifted plane from a foreign government as air force one is wild.
