Donald Trump promised Wednesday that he would cut the costs of the Air Force's F-35 program.
"It's a program that's very, very expensive," Trump said to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
"It's a dance. It's a little bit of a dance, but we're gonna get the cost down, and we're gonna get it down beautifully."
He added: "I think were looking to cut a tremendous amount of money."
Trump tweeted last week that the F-35 program was "out of control," adding that he intends to save "billions" of dollars on military and other purchases when he takes office.
