Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) expressed concerns about President Trump accepting a luxury Boeing jet from Qatar, suggesting it could potentially undermine the United States’ ability to criticize 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.”
He added, “I wouldn’t take it. That’s just me.”
