Trump announces Qatari-gifted Air Force One will undergo security upgrades.

President Trump stated the Qatari-donated Boeing 747 serving as Air Force One will be sent for upgrades to be "maxed out" with security features, a process expected to take about a month. The announcement follows reports that the plane lacks the full missile-defense capabilities of the older VC-25A aircraft, which prompted Trump to switch planes during his return from a NATO summit in Turkey. The White House said the upgrades will occur in the fall, during which Trump will use the older Air Force One.
