Qatar PM defends plane gift to US as 'exchange between two countries'
Normal thing that happens between allies
Qatar's prime minister on Tuesday rejected criticism of the wealthy Gulf country's offer to US President Trump of a $400 million luxury aircraft to serve as a new Air Force One.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani defended the gift as "an exchange between two countries", adding that he viewed the issue as a "normal thing that happens between allies".
He denied accusations of "bribery" or "that Qatar wants to buy influence with this administration".
