Accepting the plane, Pence said in an interview with Meet the Press, “is inconsistent with our security, with our intelligence needs. And my hope is the president reconsiders it.”

Anyone cannot verify if every single inch of the plane is bug free. Just because the frame is Boeing isn’t the only factor.

And Qatar has close connections with US adversaries such as Iran.

If connections with Iran makes a country an adversary what does that say about the EU? Qatar has relations with Iran because of geographical necessity and due to the Saudi-led Arab embargo which cut off food exports to Qatar forcing them to trade more with Iran.
