QUESTION OF THE DAY: Was accepting a plane from Qatar the right thing to do?

The Pentagon made it official Wednesday -- the government has accepted a gift of a Qatari plane meant to replace the aging Air Force One.

President Donald Trump's announcement that he would accept the Boeing 747 as a gift from the government of Qatar was met with strong opposition, including from some in his own party. Opponents point to security worries, Qatar's history of backing terrorism and whether Qatar will expect something in return for the gift.

Do you think the government should have accepted Qatar's offer? Let us know by voting in the poll.
