Chris Murphy says Trump strategically visited Gulf states āwilling to pay him offā as backlash rises against luxury offer
Donald Trumpās acceptance of a $400m Boeing jet from Qatar is the ādefinition of corruptionā, a leading Democrat said on Sunday, as several senior Republicans joined in a bipartisan fusillade of criticism and concern over the luxury gift.
Chris Murphy, a Democratic senator for Connecticut, condemned the āflying griftā on NBCās Meet the Press as he assailed the presidentās trip to several Gulf states this week that included a stop in Qatar.
āWhy did he choose these three countries for his first major foreign trip? Itās not because these are our most important allies or the most important countries in the world,ā he said of Trumpās visit to the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
