“Donald Trump has shown over and over again – the US people and the Presidency will sell out if it means filling their own pockets,” Schumer said, according to A a statement.
“Not only would it take $ 1 billion taxpayers to even try to install and provide this plane in advance, but there is absolutely no amount of changes that can guarantee that they will be safe. It is now a priority for our national security, protecting Americans and ensuring that a foreign ownership plane is never received by the “Air Force One” call sign.

The proposal has a small chance of passing: even if he cleared both congress chambers in which the Republicans hold the majority, the President could veto on the measure, in which case the passage would be required to vote to overcome the presidential veto.
“Boeing 747 is given to the United States Air Force/The Ministry of Defense, not me! The gift of the nation, Qatar, that we have successfully defended ourselves for many years. Our government will use as a temporary air force, as long as our new Boeings, who were late last week,” Trump Trump declared in a social post.

“Why our army, and therefore, our taxpayers would be forced to pay hundreds of millions of dollars when they can get it for free from a country that wants to reward us for a well -done job. This great savings will be spent, instead of making America a big one! Only a fool would not accept this gift on behalf of our country. Trump added.
Trump stated last week that he was not planning to fly on the plane after leaving his duties, but that the aircraft would be located in his presidential library.
