Senator Ted Cruz recently cautioned President Trump about accepting a luxury jumbo jet offered by the Qatari royal family, emphasizing Qatar's history of funding extremist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. Cruz highlighted the bipartisan disapproval surrounding the potential gift, which a YouGov poll showed had 47% of American voters opposed. Despite criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike, Trump has largely ignored dissent from his own supporters. Cruz's appearance on CNBC's Squawk Box marked a notable moment as Republican lawmakers began voicing concerns over the implications of accepting the jet.
Well, listen, I'm not a fan of Qatar. I think they have a really disturbing pattern of funding theocratic lunatics who want to murder us, funding Hamas and Hezbollah and that's that's a real problem.
But now even Republican lawmakers are raising concerns about the deal. Appearing on CNBC's Squawk Box on Tuesday to speak to host Andrew Ross Sorkin.
