President Donald Trump’s trip to North Dakota on Wednesday to dedicate a museum honoring Theodore Roosevelt is expected to mark the debut of a refurbished Boeing 747 gifted ⁠by Qatar that will serve as Air Force One.

The plane features a red, white, dark blue and ​gold paint scheme selected by Trump, who is traveling to the museum, located in Medora.

He is scheduled to deliver a speech invoking the Roosevelt legacy, while promoting a message of American greatness ahead of the Fourth of July holiday.

The plane has drawn scrutiny due to the cost and ⁠rapid pace of renovations, as well as the unusual acceptance of a luxury jumbo jet from a foreign country.

Trump has dismissed criticism of the arrangement, and the Air Force has said the plane is up to presidential standards.

The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library opens in North Dakota on Saturday.
