Donald Trump
Blasts Boeing for $4 Billion Air Force One: ‘Cancel Order!’
by Alex Swoyer 6 Dec 2016Washington, DC
President-elect Donald
Trump is slamming Boeing for the cost
of a new Air Force One.
In a post on Twitter Tuesday morning, Trump suggests the
order should be canceled:
After his tweet, the President-elect talked about
Boeing with reporters and was questioned about canceling the order.
“Well the plane is totally out of control, going to be
over four billion dollars for the Air Force One program, and I think it’s
ridiculous,” Trump responded. “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.”
In January, the Pentagon announced the Boeing deal,
according to Politico.
“The Defense Department awarded an additional $127.3
million contract in July to develop interior, power and electronic
specifications for the next-generation aircraft, according to FlightGlobal, a
publication that covers the aviation industry,” Politico reports.
“The Air Force said previously that it had earmarked $1.65 billion for two new
presidential aircraft, which will be four-engine Boeing 747-8s.”
***UPDATE***
Boeing issued a statement,
responding to Trump’s tweet:
We are currently under contract for $170 million to help
determine the capabilities of these complex military aircraft that serve the
unique requirements of the President of the United States. We look forward to
working with the U.S. Air Force on
subsequent phases of the program allowing us to deliver the best planes for the
President at the best value for the American taxpayer.
