WASHINGTON: President-elect Donald Trump took a shot on Tuesday at one of America's largest manufacturers, Boeing, sharply criticising a pending order for a new Air Force One and suggesting that the company was "doing a little bit of a number" with the cost of the next generation of presidential aircraft.

"Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $US4 billion ($A5.38 billion)," Trump wrote on Twitter. "Cancel order!".

;D ;D ;D

trump just making sh1t up again

In a statement after Trump's Twitter post, Boeing said it had a $US170 million contract to study the equipment that a redesigned Air Force One might need. That project has just gotten underway, so billions of dollars in cost overruns at this point appear to be impossible.

"Some of the statistics that have been, uh, cited, shall we say, don't appear to reflect the nature of the financial agreement between Boeing and the Department of Defense," the White House press secretary, Josh Earnest, said

$170M to look at stuff that might be dreamed of .......

Sounds like a good earner to me.

you're talking about tweaking and applying military grade communications and defensive systems that are supposed to cater to every conceivable scenario to what is supposed to be the best protected plane in the world. It doesn't sound expensive to me. Defense stuff is always expensive.

Talk about the ultimate in penny wise and pound foolishness," Aboulafia said. "We're talking about Pentagon weapons accounts that are going to $US200 billion a year, and you're going to nickel and dime the survivability of the president's jet. That is about as dysfunctional as it gets."

You do realize this "business" caused Boeing stock to tank?

Companies are still learning to play Trump like a piano like the Japanese guy did. The Japanese guy was intending to invest in the USA anyway and just used Trump for free publicity.
