\n US President Donald Trump said the Qatari-donated jet that has served as Air Force One will be sent for upgrades, as concerns mount over the plane\u2019s security features.\n <\/p>

\n Stepping off the plane on his return from the FIFA World Cup final in New Jersey on Sunday, Trump was asked about the newly renovated plane\u2019s missile-defense capabilities.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt has a lot of capability but, as I understand it, in about a month or so they\u2019re going to send it to have it be maxed out,\u201d Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cThey\u2019re going to be sending it, and they\u2019ll have it be maxed out. It\u2019ll take about a month,\u201d he added.\n <\/p>\n

\n As CNN has reported, concerns about the new, $400 million Qatari-gifted jet have come into focus since earlier this month when Trump unexpectedly ditched the jet during his return from a NATO summit in Turkey and said he was sending the new plane ahead to \ufeffMildenhall air base in England.\n <\/p>\n

\n Trump said the change in planes was simply to give US service members stationed at the base \u201ca chance to tour the Aircraft.\u201d\n <\/p>

\n As CNN also reported, two US officials said security personnel felt more comfortable with the president aboard an older plane \u2013\u2013 which was built from scratch with the commander-in-chief\u2019s safety in mind \u2014 rather than the plane that had recently been retrofitted after it was donated by Qatar.\n <\/p>\n

\n Two sources familiar with the matter said the newer plane did not possess the same capabilities to ensure its safety in international settings, though a third said it was equipped with many of the same features as the older plane.\n <\/p>\n

\n Security concerns surrounding the plane were previously reported by the New York Times.\n <\/p>\n

\n As CNN reported, a major White House investigation was launched to identify who in the government leaked information about these security deficiencies, with some officials being asked to turn over their phones to investigators on White House grounds, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. It came as Trump had fumed over the disclosures, sources said.\n <\/p>\n
