Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said he doesn't think it's a good idea for President Trump to accept a luxury Boeing jet from Qatar since it could possibly hinder the United States's ability to call out any human rights violations.

"I've spent time trying not to sell weapons to Qatar because they have human rights violations of their people," Paul said in a Monday interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters. "I really haven't been a big fan, and I wonder if our ability to judge their human rights record would be clouded by the fact of this large gift."

"I wouldn't take it. That's just me," he added.

The Boeing 747-8 airplane from the government of Qatar would replace Air Force One and be kept by Trump's eventual presidential library after the end of his term. Boeing has had a contract with the U.S. government to build a new Air Force One, but it has been delayed.
