一名白宫高级官员告诉CNN，总统唐纳德·特朗普计划于本月晚些时候前往爱尔兰时，乘坐曾被用作空军一号的卡塔尔赠送专机。而就在两个月前，他曾乘坐该机前往土耳其，之后因安全 concerns 换乘另一架飞机秘密离境。
CNN当时报道称，据两名知情人士透露，这架价值约4亿美元的卡塔尔产豪华波音专机，在危险的国际环境中缺乏保障安全的性能，不如旧版空军一号。另有第三位消息人士则表示，该机配备了与旧版专机的许多相同功能。
那次土耳其之行结束后，特朗普在7月下旬被问及该专机的导弹防御能力时表示，新空军一号很快将“配齐所有功能”，这似乎承认该机的装备不如旧机型。他周五在椭圆形办公室重申了这一说法，坚称尽管该机已经装备精良，但还将进一步升级。
“它已经配备了很多设备，但要配齐所有功能，意味着可以前往任何地区，大约需要60天时间，”特朗普说道。
今年夏天，总统继续使用这架新专机进行国内出行。特朗普周五表示，这架专机将在其任期结束后被送往他的总统博物馆。
这位白宫高级官员指出，专机的升级工作预计将于今年秋季展开，并称该机适合前往爱尔兰等非敌对国家的国际出行是安全的，总统早就计划在此次出访中使用这架专机。特朗普表示，该机将于10月被送往升级。
CNN此前曾报道，特朗普长期以来一直为这架新专机引以为傲，私下里对有关其缺陷的报道感到愤怒。今年夏天，他在安德鲁斯联合基地公开展示了这架专机，称其为“世界上最豪华的专机。
特朗普计划在爱尔兰之行中使用该专机的消息最早由《华盛顿邮报》率先报道。
Trump to take Qatari jet on another overseas trip despite questions about its security

President Donald Trump is planning to take the Qatari-gifted jet used as Air Force One when he travels to Ireland later this month, a senior White House official told CNN, just two months after he flew it to Turkey and then secretly left the country on an alternate plane because of security concerns.
CNN reported at the time that the luxury Boeing jet from Qatar — an unconditional gift estimated to be worth about $400 million — did not possess the same capabilities to ensure its safety in dangerous international settings as the older Air Force One, according to two sources familiar with the matter. A third source said it was equipped with many of the same features as the older plane.
After that Turkey trip, Trump said in late July that the new Air Force One would soon be “maxed out,” appearing to acknowledge the plane is not as thoroughly outfitted as older aircrafts, when he was asked about its missile-defense capabilities. He reiterated that in the Oval Office on Friday, insisting that while the aircraft is already well-equipped, it will be upgraded further.
“It has a lot of stuff, but to max it out, meaning you can go into any territory, it’ll take about 60 days,” Trump said.
The president has continued to use the new plane – which he said Friday is scheduled to go to his presidential museum at the end of his term – for domestic travel this summer.
The senior White House official, who noted the upgrades to the plane are expected to happen this fall, said the aircraft is safe for non-hostile international travel, including Ireland, and the president has been long planning to take this plane on the trip. Trump said it would be sent for upgrades in October.
Trump has long boasted about the new aircraft, and he’s seethed privately over coverage of its deficiencies, CNN previously reported. He unveiled it over the summer at Joint Base Andrews, calling it “the world’s most luxurious plane.”
Trump’s plan to use the plane on his trip to Ireland was first reported by the Washington Post.
