On Friday, May 23, the United States Justice Department announced it reached a deal with Boeing for allegedly misleading U.S. regulators about its 737 Max airplane before two crashes five months apart that killed 346 people.

Businesses are getting a free pass from the Trump administration from a wide variety of enforcement actions they had been facing under President Joe Biden.

Under the proposed agreement, Boeing would pay and invest more than $1.1 billion, including an additional $445 million for the crash victims’ families.

President Donald Trump 's administration was first to reach out to Qatar about acquiring a $400-million Boeing 747 for Air Force One, according to a report from CNN. The report, which cites four individuals familiar with the matter, adds context to the administration's repeated assertions that the jet was simply a "gift" from the Gulf state.

The United States has accepted a 747 jetliner as a gift from the government of Qatar, and the Air Force has now been asked to figure out a way to rapidly upgrade it so it can be put into use as a new Air Force One for President Trump, a Defense Department spokesman confirmed Wednesday.
