A day after calling out Boeing Co. on Twitter over the the cost of a new Air Force One order, President-elect Donald Trump said he spoke with the head of the company and would work out a better deal or else scrap the purchase.
“We’re going to get the prices down and if we don’t get the prices down, we’re not going to order them,” Trump said Wednesday in a phone interview with NBC. “We’re going stick with what we have.”
