President Donald Trump traveled to Medora, North Dakota, on July 1, 2026, to dedicate the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, utilizing a newly acquired and refurbished Boeing 747-8 as the primary presidential transport.

美國總統川普於 2026 年 7 月 1 日前往北達科他州美多拉，為西奧多·羅斯福總統圖書館及博物館主持落成典禮，並使用一部新獲贈且經過翻新的波音 747-8 作為總統主要交通工具。

The presidential visit was characterized by a series of symbolic gestures intended to establish a historical rapprochement between the current administration and the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt. This was manifested through the utilization of a themed train and a motorcade featuring equestrian participants. During the proceedings, the President announced a $750,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support the facility's initial operations. While the administration emphasized the shared traits of strength and national pride between the two leaders, critics noted a significant divergence regarding environmental conservation, as the President focused on the construction of the Panama Canal rather than Roosevelt's ecological contributions.

這次總統訪問透過一系列象徵性舉措，旨在建立現任政府與西奧多·羅斯福遺產之間的歷史聯繫。這體現在一次主題列車之旅以及有騎馬參與者隨行的車隊之中。在儀式期間，總統宣布國家人文基金會將撥款 75 萬美元，支持該設施的初步運作。雖然政府強調兩位領導人之間擁有強而有力與國家自豪感的共同特質，但批評者指出在環境保護方面存在顯著分歧，因為總統將重點放在巴拿馬運河的建設，而非羅斯福對生態的貢獻。

Concurrent with the visit was the operational debut of a Boeing 747-8, gifted by the government of Qatar and valued at approximately $400 million. The aircraft serves as an interim 'bridge' solution pending the delivery of new presidential jets scheduled for 2028. The vessel features a customized navy-blue, red, and gold exterior and an interior characterized by luxury appointments, including leather seating and extensive wood paneling. However, aviation analysts have observed that the rapid conversion process resulted in the omission of certain missile detection and countermeasure systems, suggesting the aircraft is optimized for domestic transit rather than long-range strategic missions.

與此次訪問同時進行的是一部由卡達政府贈送、價值約 4 億美元的波音 747-8 的正式啟用。該飛機作為臨時的「橋接」方案，直到 2028 年預定交付的新總統專機到位為止。機身外觀採用定制的深藍色、紅色與金色，內飾則以豪華配置為主，包括皮革座椅與大面積木面板。然而，航空分析師觀察到，快速的改裝過程導致部分飛彈偵測與反制系統被省略，顯示該飛機是針對國內運輸而優化，而非長程戰略任務。

Beyond the ceremonial aspects, the President utilized the venue to address several geopolitical and judicial matters. He criticized the 1977 Torrijos-Carter Treaties, asserting that the transfer of the Panama Canal to Panamanian control was detrimental to U.S. interests and created a vulnerability to Chinese influence. Furthermore, the President expressed dissatisfaction with the judiciary's interpretation of birthright citizenship while praising a recent Supreme Court ruling that expanded the executive's authority to dismiss Senate-confirmed agency leaders, citing this as a restoration of presidential power lost during the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration.

除儀式層面外，總統利用此場合處理了幾項地緣政治與司法問題。他批評 1977 年的《托里霍斯-卡特條約》，聲稱將巴拿馬運河移交至巴拿馬控制對美國利益有害，並造成易受中國影響的漏洞。此外，總統對司法機關對出生公民權的解釋表示不滿，但讚揚最高法院最近一項擴大行政機關撤換經參議院確認之機構領導人權限的裁決，稱之為恢復了在富蘭克林·D·羅斯福政府時期失去的總統權力。

The event concluded with the formal dedication of the library, while the administration continues its series of patriotic commemorations leading toward the national 250th anniversary.

活動以圖書館的正式落成儀式結束，而政府將繼續進行一系列愛國紀念活動，迎接國家 250 週年慶。
