💨 Abstract

President Donald Trump has expressed interest in accepting a Boeing 747-8 jet from Qatar, intended for use as a presidential aircraft. This has sparked debates over constitutional emoluments clauses, which prohibit the president from receiving gifts from foreign entities without congressional approval. Trump previously faced lawsuits alleging he profited from his presidency, which were dismissed in 2021. Lastly, Hamas has reported the release of Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander, though Israel has not confirmed this.
