Trump says 'cancel order' on new Boeing Air Force One plane
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump urged the government to cancel purchase of
Boeing's new Air Force One plane on Tuesday, saying it was "ridiculous" and
too expensive.
總統當選人川普認為新空軍一號太貴太離譜,勸政府取消訂單
"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!" said Trump in
a Twitter message.
新的AF1成本已經失控,總價已超過了40億美金。
Speaking shortly afterward to reporters in New York, Trump said, "The plane
is totally out of control. I think it's ridiculous. I think Boeing is doing a
little bit of a number."
我(川普)認為波音灌水太誇張
"We want Boeing to make a lot of money but not that much money," added Trump,
who takes office on Jan. 20.
我們希望波音賺錢但不是賺那麼多錢
Boeing did not immediately return a request for comment.
波音還沒表示意見
The Air Force first announced in January 2015 that Boeing's 747-8 would be
used to replace the two current Air Force planes used to transport the U.S.
president. Air Force One is one of the most visible symbols of the United
States.
Details about the total value of the new contract have not been released, but
the Air Force has previously said that it had earmarked $1.65 billion for two
replacement jets.
The U.S. Air Force awarded Boeing Co an initial contract worth $25.8 million
in January.
U.S. presidents have used Boeing plane's since 1943, according to the
company's website.
The 747-8 planes, 240 feet long (73 meters) long with a wing span of 224 feet
(68 meters), can fly direct from Washington to Hong Kong, 1,000 miles (1,600
km) farther than the current Air Force One.
