The commander-in-chief renegotiated a $4 billion deal with Boeing for two new presidential planes to replace the current Boeing 747-200s.
"Boeing gave us a good deal. And we were able to take that," Trump was quoted by CBS News.
"But I said, 'I wonder if we should use the same baby blue colors?' And we're not".
The choice had sparked protests among some lawmakers.
"It will be red, white and blue," Trump had decided,
preferring a “Star Spangled Banner” color-scheme
to the sky blue and white livery introduced by John F. Kennedy in 1962.
On February 10, 2020, a budget report from the Pentagon confirmed the new livery of the upcoming Air Force One.

The Pentagon’s fiscal year 2021 budget request was released on Monday
and featured a rendering of the future Air Force One
with a red, white, and blue paint scheme.
The paint scheme appears to match plans Trump showed off last summer 2019,
which observers said resembled his private “Trump Force One” jet.
The inclusion of the new paint scheme in the budget request
suggests this is the planned design at this point in time.
