Trump: New Airforce One Contract Should Be Cancelled by Nobody: 8:21pm On Dec 06, 2016 |
Donald Trump has called for Boeing to lose its contract to build Air Force One, the president’s private airplane, citing what he claimed was a $4bn price tag. “Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!” the president-elect wrote on Twitter. Speaking to journalists in the lobby of Trump Tower the president elect elaborated on his Twitter post: “The plane is totally out of control. It’s going to be over $4bn for Air Force One programme and I think it’s ridiculous,” he said. “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.” Trump’s statements briefly sent Boeing’s share price into a tailspin. Shares dropped $1 before recovering. Boeing issued a statement shortly after Trump’s remarks: “We are currently under contract for $170m to help determine the capabilities of these complex military aircraft that serve the unique requirements of the President of the United States,” spokesman Todd Blecher wrote on Boeing’s website. “We look forward to working with the US 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.” The statement and the share price fall also reopened the debate on Trump’s opaque finances. In January 2013 Trump tweeted that he had bought Boeing’s stock after issues with its 787 Dreamliner had hurt its share price. “.@Boeing stock went way down because of 787 – so I just bought stock in @Boeing- great company!” he wrote on the microblogging service. Trump mentioned the company twice more in 2013, saying he preferred the 757 to the Dreamliner and opining the same day that Boeing should deal with faulty battery problems troubling the latter airplane. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/06/trump-boeing-air-force-one-cost

this is one of the reasons I lough at some people's ignorance trying to paint Nigeria a rich nation status. Just one US presidential jet is more than the budget of about ten states combined. We are very poor in this country 1 Like |
