South African President Cyril Ramaphosa apologized, apparently jokingly, on Wednesday to US President Donald Trump that he doesn’t have an plane to current as tribute to the American chief.
“I’m sorry I don’t have a plane to give you,” Ramaphosa stated within the Oval Office as Trump hosted him for a bilateral assembly and lunch.
“I wish you did. I’d take it,” stated Trump. “If your country offered the United States Air Force a plane, I would take it.”
The light-hearted alternate comes after Qatar gifted Trump with a luxurious 747 jetliner to make use of as Air Force One. The Pentagon formally introduced that the aircraft had been accepted simply as Trump was internet hosting Ramaphosa.
The reward of a aircraft estimated to price $400 million has raised questions of ethics and legality from Republicans and Democrats alike.
When requested concerning the aircraft by a reporter, Trump known as the journalist an “idiot.”
“You are a real, you know, you’re a terrible reporter. Number one, you don’t have what it takes to be reporter, not smart enough,” Trump stated.
