Pentagon Reaches Deal With Lockheed

After President Donald Trump got involved in the negotiation with the overpriced U.S. military contract for F-35’s, the Pentagon announced Friday that they have reached a deal with Lockheed Martin for the purchase of 90 F-35 jets. The price tag will be the lowest in the program’s history. President Trump had previously stated that the costs for the F-35 program were “out of control.” White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer declared it “another big win that the president has delivered on for U.S. taxpayers” and “added up to a total of $455 million savings for U.S. taxpayers from the previous lot, with an average cost reduction of 7.5 percent.” So this is what it feels like when the federal government goes out of it’s way to cost cut and save tax payer dollars.
