About time.

The hold SHOULD have been put in place the second he started with his "shock and awe" illegal anti constitutional EO nonsense.

At some point will the Democrat leadership tire of always being on the 20% side of an 80/20 issue? This plane is a gift to the United States, are Democrats upset that they didn't get a kick back?

Trump said Qatar funds terrorism.
But that was yesterday, or in his first term, so it doesn't matter.

Hah! US Senator Chuck "AIPAC" Schumer (D-NY) has a 17% approval rating. He had smoothly approved dozens of judges and AUSAs previously without argument under the first Trumpf regime. But the issue of wealthy Arabs gifting this flying Babylon to the Dotard is a line in the sand for Schumer-- not the horrendous Nakba or murdering Shia Houthis in Yemen with expensive US munitions.
