A tense moment erupted during a press conference held by U.S. President Donald Trump when a reporter dared to ask a question about a luxury gift from Qatar a Boeing 747-8 airplane.
The question was met with irritation by the American leader, who did not hesitate to interrupt the reporter and then expel him from the room, calling the question “provocative and unnecessary.”
“You need to get out of here. What does this have to do with the Qatar airplane? Quiet. Quiet. You no longer have the right to ask questions,” said the 78-year-old, before attacking NBC, the reporter’s channel: “This is NBC’s attempt to divert the topic. You’re a terrible reporter. You don’t have the skills needed to be a journalist, you’re not smart enough.”
Meanwhile, senior defense officials have officially confirmed that the Pentagon has accepted the mentioned airplane, which is one of the most advanced aerial transport vehicles in the world for state leaders.
According to Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth personally signed the official acceptance documents for the airplane, calling it “a strategic asset for logistical needs and presidential security.”
