In a move that is likely to reignite debate over the costs and priorities of the US military, former President Donald Trump has announced plans to upgrade the new Air Force One aircraft before it even enters service. Trump, who has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration's spending priorities, claims that the new plane will be "maxed out" with the latest upgrades and technology, suggesting that it may be more advanced than initially planned. However, the move is expected to increase costs and potentially delay the delivery of the new aircraft, which is currently scheduled to enter service in 2025. As the US military continues to grapple with budget constraints and competing priorities, Trump's announcement is likely to spark controversy and raise questions about the true cost of the upgrade.
