US President-elect Donald Trump today called for cancelling the order of Air Force One to Boeing, slamming the plane manufacturer for the high cost of over USD 4 billion.
"Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than USD 4 billion. Cancel order!" Trump said in a tweet.
In January this year, the US Air Force placed contract with Boeing for replacing the current Air Force One Planes with a new Boeing 747.
Boeing has built the plane for every US President since Franklin Roosevelt.
