Bill > S1804

This bill, known as the Presidential Airlift Security Act of 2025, prohibits the use of Department of Defense funds in fiscal years 2025 and 2026 for procuring, modifying, restoring, or maintaining aircraft that were previously owned by foreign governments, foreign government-controlled entities, or foreign government representatives for presidential airlift purposes. The legislation aims to prevent the U.S. government from spending defense budget resources on aircraft with foreign origins for transporting the President, likely motivated by national security concerns about potential vulnerabilities or dependencies on foreign-sourced aircraft for presidential transportation. By restricting funds for such aircraft, the bill seeks to ensure that presidential airlift capabilities rely solely on domestically sourced and controlled aircraft.
