What Did Trump Say About Potential Threats To Air Force One From Iran?<\/h2>\n

Earlier on Wednesday, Trump was asked by a reporter if switching planes was tied to the reignited conflict with Iran, to which the president said, \u201cI\u2019m number one on the kill list for Iran.\u201d Later, while flying on board the jet, from the U.K. to Joint Base Andrews, Trump was asked again if he was aware of \u201cany credible threat by Iran to Air Force One.\u201d The president told the reporter, \u201cWell, I have a threat all the time. I\u2019m number one on their list, before you. But if I go, you go\u2026Perhaps someday you want to change professions.\u201d At the start of the press gaggle onboard the plane, the president told the reporters: \u201cIt was a long walk to you. It\u2019s about three times the walk we used to take, right? I hope you like it.\u201d <\/p>\n

According to<\/u> the New York Times, the switch in jet was prompted by advice from the Secret Service. Citing unnamed sources briefed on the Qatari jet\u2019s capabilities, the report said it lacks all the features of the older Air Force One. The report noted that the change of planes was a precautionary measure urged by the Secret Service rather than any specific threat from Iran. <\/p>\n

Former Biden Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall also told MS NOW<\/u> last week it\u2019s likely the typical Air Force One security standards for the plane were lowered since it usually takes years and billions of dollars to turn an aircraft into an Air Force One plane, noting he questions whether it has the specific command and control capabilities and \u201cprotective measures that Air Force Ones have against different types of threats that might be employed against the aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n

An unnamed senior Trump administration official insisted to MS NOW \u201cthere were no shortcuts taken\u201d to secure the plane and it \u201cwent through the same safety protocols that every Air Force One has gone through in accordance with FAA standards, and it is an FAA-certified aircraft.\u201d An Air Force spokesperson said, \u201cwe are confident the aircraft is safe, secure and equipped with the most advanced technologies necessary to meet the requirements of the presidential mission. To accelerate delivery, we prioritized critical mission requirements over aesthetics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key Background<\/h2>\n

The Trump administration accepted the gifted plane in May last year and Trump took his inaugural flight on the plane last week when he traveled to North Dakota for the opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. The Air Force has said it spent less than $400 million on security upgrades to the plane, though some experts have estimated the cost is likely closer to $1 billion. The jet is intended to serve as a \u201cbridge\u201d aircraft used temporarily by Trump while Boeing builds two new custom planes that are years behind schedule. The gift has drawn widespread conflict-of-interest concerns, though Trump has claimed it was purely a gift that Qatar seeks nothing in return for. He intends for it to go to his presidential library in Miami after leaving office, though it\u2019s unclear if Trump has the authority to determine its fate.<\/p>\n
