Democrats on the House Armed Services Committee could make it tougher for President Trump's red, white and blue Air Force One paint job to become a reality.
During an interview with ABC News this week, President Trump unveiled a new color scheme for Air Force One that he said he designed himself for the next generation of the presidential fleet of Boeing 747s. But lawmakers who have to approve the cost might have different ideas.
“Additional paint can add weight to the plane, additional fixtures inside the plane can also add cost and delays to the delivery of the plane,” Courtney said, noting that he was retaining flexibility for the Air Force and Boeing. Trump agreed during the ABC News interview, saying, “"I'm doing that for other presidents, not for me.”“Air Force One is going to be incredible,” said Trump in an interview with CBS News. “It's gonna be the top of the line, the top in the world. And it's gonna be red, white and blue, which I think is appropriate."
