Trump's New 'Beast' - Presidential Vehicles Get a Major Upgrade

Donald Trump is now using new, armored Cadillac SUVs for his transportation, the Secret Service has confirmed. The vehicles, likely modified Cadillac Escalades, were added to the president's fleet during the recent summit in Davos, Switzerland. The acquisition of the new SUVs is part of a broader upgrade of the presidential vehicle fleet. General Motors has been contracted to develop the next generation of the presidential limousine, nicknamed 'The Beast,' with a contract worth $40.8 million. At the same time, the US Air Force announced that Trump will receive a new airplane by summer, as the Boeing 747 he uses experienced a “minor electrical issue.” Trump had also received a luxurious Boeing 747 from Qatar to use as a temporary Air Force One. These upgrades highlight the importance placed on the safety and comfort of the US president, as well as the need for modern and reliable means of transportation.
