A group representing General Motors (GM.N), opens new tab, Ford (F.N), opens new tab and Stellantis (STLAM.MI), opens new tab blasted President Donald Trump’s trade deal announced with the United Kingdom, saying it would harm the U.S. auto sector.
British carmakers will be given a quota of 100,000 cars a year that can be sent to the United States at a 10% tariff rate, almost the total Britain exported last year, compared to 25% for Mexico and Canada and nearly all other countries.
The automakers’ group added it hopes “this preferential access for UK vehicles over North American ones does not set a precedent for future negotiations with Asian and European competitors.”

Trump administration poised to accept ‘palace in the sky’ as a gift for Trump from Qatar
In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar — a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News.

Over the years there have been documentaries about Air Force One. Some of it covers the security and hardening of the aircraft. Sometimes a bit is shown of the defensive items installed on them too. There will be a paragraph about how the reporters were not shown everything. That is because the planes have lots of security for communications, location sensing, and much more. SFB somehow thinks that freebie plane is just perfect because it has a gold commode. Idiot.

Qatar on Sunday denied reports that the Trump administration is preparing to accept a luxury jet from the country’s royal family.
“The possible transfer of an aircraft for temporary use as Air Force One is currently under consideration between Qatar’s Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Department of Defense, but the matter remains under review by the respective legal departments, and no decision has been made,” he said.
The aircraft in question is worth $400 million, ABC reported, and was set to be announced during Trump’s upcoming visit to the Middle East. A person familiar with the situation said no announcement is planned for Trump’s visit.
Trump will soon depart for a four-day trip to the Middle East, with stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
