00:00President Trump says his new Air Force One is about to get even more protection.
00:03That's the one that was recently gifted from Qatar. The president confirmed the Boeing 747-8
00:09currently serving as Air Force One will be taken out of service to receive additional defensive
00:12upgrades, including enhanced anti-missile capabilities. Now, during that time, Trump
00:17says that he'll return to flying the older Air Force One. They're going to send it to have it
00:21be maxed out. So they're going to be sending it and they'll have it be maxed out and it'll take
00:27about a month. The announcement comes after questions were raised about the aircraft's
00:30security following the president's decision to switch back to the older plane after the NATO
00:35summit earlier this month. Now, the White House insists the new Air Force One is already safe
00:40for presidential travel, but says the planned upgrades will further enhance its defensive
00:44capabilities. The president has recently spoken about threats against his life, including plots
00:49he says have been linked to Iran, making security a top priority as tensions in the Middle East
00:54remain high.
