President Donald Trump's claim that Qatar presented him with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45338985/trump-reportedly-set-to-accept-flying-palace-from-qatar-white-house-says-lavish-gift-of-boeing-jumbo-jet-complies-with-all-applicable-laws">luxury Boeing 747 as a personal "gift"</a> is now being questioned by several insiders familiar with the negotiations.
Despite Trump's repeated hints that the offer came unsolicited from Qatar's leadership, sources say it was actually the Trump administration that initiated the discussions.
What Happened: According to insiders, the administration began to look for a replacement for Air Force One soon after Trump took office.
When Boeing implied that their new aircraft would not be ready until at least 2027, other options came to the forefront, according <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/19/politics/trump-adminstration-approached-qatar-jet">to</a> CNN. Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff was asked to identify potential planes, and Boeing later pointed the Pentagon to clients with appropriate aircraft.
Qatar was one of them, and US officials initiated communications to explore a possible lease or purchase. Trump, however, wrote on Truth Social that the plane was "a GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE" from Qatar's royal family. He also told Fox News that Qatar's leader presented the plane after hearing about the Air Force One delay, labelling it "a great gesture."

Why It Matters: The Boeing-manufactured jet, valued at around $400 million, has been a source of major controversy since the "gift" became public knowledge.
Former Vice President Mike Pence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45489193/trumps-former-vp-mike-pence-calls-qatari-jet-gift-a-bad-idea-urges-president-to-reject-400m-boeing-747">urged the President</a> to reject it. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45459490/as-nikki-haley-slams-trumps-400-million-boeing-jet-gift-from-qatar-bill-ackman-cites-national-securi">Former Republican presidential contender Nikki Haley</a> said "accepting gifts from foreign nations is never a good practice" and "threatens intelligence and national security." Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers labelled it "banana-republic-level corruption" and economist Peter Schiff was also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45340930/trumps-400-million-boeing-jet-gift-from-qatar-sparks-outcry-from-larry-summers-peter-schiff-banana-republic-level-corruption">sharply critical of the arrangement.</a>
The White House, however, says the deal is being managed as a formal government-to-government transfer, subject to legal and ethical review. Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani stressed that the negotiations are strictly between defense ministries.
Aviation experts have warned that it could take years to convert the jet to make it suitable for presidential use, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45404708/trumps-boeing-jet-gift-from-qatar-could-cost-taxpayers-1-billion-and-he-still-may-not-be-able-to-use-it-this-term-say-experts">cost up to $1 billion</a>.

Insights From Analysts:
Senior economist at WisdomTree, Jeremy Siegel, said that he was &#8220;clear-eyed&#8221; about the tariff impact.
&#8220;These tariffs aren't good for the market. Stocks would be higher without them, but the market's current pricing suggests it can absorb the expected hit at current rates.&#8221;
While there was criticism around the One Big, Beautiful Bill on proposed tax cuts, Siegel said, &#8220;While tariffs remain a headwind, the tax cut and a potential easing of tensions in the Middle East could propel equities closer to all-time highs.&#8221;
Meanwhile, quoting the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45536595/big-beautiful-bill-will-explode-the-deficit-and-make-the-rich-richer-congressional-budget-office">CBO estimates</a>, Craig Shapiro of the Bear Traps Report, said, the new Bill will &#8220;explode the deficit while enriching the highest decile of Americans at the expense of the lowest decile.&#8221; 
&#8220;Another opportunity squandered and further proof that the Republican Party continues to cater to the wealthiest Americans time and time again,&#8221; he added.

Economist Peter Schiff was also not enamoured by the Bill as he stated that the tax cuts just boost GDP at the "expense of larger budget and trade deficits and higher inflation, and long-term interest rates."

Alphabet&#8216;s Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) revamps its search engine by introducing an AI chatbot-style feature, aiming to stay ahead of competitors like OpenAI.
What Happened: Google has introduced an &#8220;AI mode&#8221; in its search and Chrome browser for all U.S. users from Tuesday. This new feature will offer a conversational, question-and-answer experience, similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT, rather than the traditional list of links, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/b9d13cc7-f0f0-4d0d-9dfd-7d387ac2cdf9">reported</a> the Financial Times.
The announcement was made by&nbsp;Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google&#8217;s parent company, Alphabet,&nbsp;during its annual I/O developer&nbsp;conference in Mountain View, California. Pichai&nbsp;labelled the move as a&nbsp;&#8220;total reimagining of search.&#8221;
This release is part of Google&#8217;s ongoing efforts to incorporate generative AI into its dominant search engine, despite investor concerns that the new products may cannibalize its current revenue streams. The &#8220;AI Mode&#8221; follows last year&#8217;s introduction of &#8220;AI Overviews&#8221; at the I/O conference.
Among other things, Google showcased new products, including smart glasses and introduced an "AI Ultra Plan" costing $249.99 per month. The plan offers higher AI usage limits and early access to experimental tools like Project Mariner, which automates browser actions and Deep Think, an advanced version of Gemini designed for complex reasoning tasks, as reported by Reuters.

Why It Matters: The revamp of Google&#8217;s search engine comes at a crucial time for the company. Google, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45509746/google-i-o-2025-a-big-deal-says-gene-munster-sundar-pichais-alphabet-has-no-choice-but-to-disrupt-itself-before-someone-else-does">criticized for lagging</a> in AI development while rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic gained ground, has accelerated its rollout of new tools. It has upgraded its Gemini model—claiming the 2.5 version outperforms competitors in key benchmarks, especially in coding—and plans to launch its AI assistant, Project Mariner, this summer. 
The assistant can perform complex tasks by controlling users' browsers and software. However, growing concerns about privacy remain as AI models begin incorporating long-term memory. 
Google&#8217;s CEO, Sundar Pichai, has also been in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/05/45128130/google-aims-for-gemini-ai-deal-with-apple-this-year-says-sundar-pichai-amid-dojs-bid-to-curb-search-monopoly">talks </a>with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to integrate the company&#8217;s Gemini AI into iPhones, as federal regulators work to curb Google&#8217;s dominance in online search. However, as AI development charges on, tech&nbsp;experts have raised concerns over&nbsp;safety taking a backseat to profit potential.
