Is Donald Trump allowed to accept $400m luxury plane as a gift? | BBC News

US President Donald Trump has said his administration wants to accept a plane worth an estimated $400m (£303m) as a gift from Qatar, calling it "a great gesture" that he would be "stupid" to turn down.

The potential move has been labelled "wildly illegal" by some members of the rival Democratic Party - something the White House denies - and it has attracted criticism from some of Trump's supporters.

Qatar itself earlier said the reports about the plane were "inaccurate", and that negotiations were continuing.
