Donald Trump turned heads earlier this week when he made the controversial choice to accept an aircraft worth $400 million from Qatar as a gift. It comes in the same week that the Federal Aviation Administration admitted that they were relying on eBay and 3D printing in order to get the parts required for its outdated system.
During a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing on Thursday United States Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, told members that the FAA has had to turn to eBay as “we can’t buy parts for new.” According to CBS News, Duffy explained that “We do try to buy replacement parts on eBay for this really old equipment.”
