Trump made the issue of lowering the price of the next generation of Air Force One airplanes an issue in the early days of his transition period.
“The plane is totally out of control. It’s going to be over $4 billion for Air Force One program. 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,” he told reporters in December 2016.
