In a notable development, President Donald Trump plans to accept a Boeing 747-8 as a gift from Qatar to use as Air Force One, eventually gifting it to his presidential library. The luxurious gift from the Qatari royal family is among the most valuable the U.S. has received.

Meanwhile, Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces trial in a sex trafficking case. Prosecutors allege the music mogul exploited his fame for abuse, while the defense is expected to argue Combs' lifestyle is consensual. His family was present in court as proceedings began.

Furthermore, Trump is set to sign an executive order aimed at slashing prescription drug prices by up to 59%, aligning U.S. prices with international standards. This follows multiple recent discussions regarding drug pricing reforms.
