President Donald Trump is taking matters into his own hands as government contractor Boeing faces snags in its delivery of two new Air Force One aircraft.
Per The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. government has commissioned L3Harris to retrofit a Boeing 747—previously flown by the government of Qatar—as an interim presidential jet. The move comes as Trump grows increasingly frustrated with delays to Boeing’s work, which is years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget, sources told the Journal. As things stand, the aircraft are not expected to be delivered until after Trump leaves office.
