Donald Trump said that he managed to reduce the price of two new Air Force One aircraft by more than $1 billion after only one hour of negotiations.

The president previously slammed the cost of the $4.2 billion program on Twitter as being way too high and famously said “Cancel Order!”

After that, he secured a promise from the company’s CEO that the program could be completed for less than $4 billion.

“I refuse to fly in a $4.2 billion plane,” Trump said at his Melbourne, Fla., rally. “We’ve got that price down by over $1 billion and I probably haven’t spoken for more than an hour on the project. I got the generals in who are fantastic … but I told Boeing that isn’t good enough, the price is still too high.”

At the rally, he also suggested that we didn’t need two Air Force Ones when one would suffice.

“Why they need two planes, we’ll have to talk about that,” he said.

Trump also spoke about the “disaster” program with Lockheed Martin to build the F-35, which he has repeatedly slammed on Twitter for its “out of control” costs. He said the prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, whose country is an international customer for the F-35, personally thanked Trump for saving “many millions of dollars” on the program when the two met this month.
