Trump slams Boeing's billion-dollar deal for new Air Force One

  • 7 years ago
President-elect Donald Trump wants to cancel a deal between the U.S. government and aircraft manufacturer Boeing regarding the development of a brand new 747 Air Force One. Trump later responded to reporters at Trump Tower. The plane is totally out of control. It’s going to be over $4 billion for Air Force One program and I think it’s ridiculous. I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want Boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money. The Air Force pledged to "keep costs down" when it awarded the initial development contract to Boeing in January, but said the replacements are necessary.
