Ban on foreign-owned presidential planes

This bill would stop the Department of Defense from using money in fiscal years 2025 or 2026 to buy, modify, restore, or maintain any airplane that used to belong to a foreign government, a foreign-controlled entity, or a foreign government representative when the plane is for presidential transport. If enacted, DoD would not be able to obligate or spend those funds for foreign-owned or foreign-controlled aircraft used as presidential airlift in FY2025 and FY2026. The bill text includes no waivers or exceptions. This could push DoD to choose domestic aircraft or other options instead.
