They need a backup Air Force 1.
Boeing doesn't make them any more.
Replacement parts are difficult.
A newer plane was in discussions for a while.

No linksw?

When did the discussions turn from replacement to a gift?

Who and when thought up the idea that the plane would go to Trump's presidential library at the end of his term?

So we're still in discussions for a newer plane because this plane is actually a gift to Trump and disappears when he leaves at the end of his term?
