What happened

Trump Said Qatari Jet Was Destined for His Library.

Why it matters

A White House official says no final decision has been made about which plane will go on display at the Trump presidential library.

Common ground

That leaves the fate of the Qatari jet unclear.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
