Donald Trump Presses Fight Over F-35 Jet Costs
Donald Trump’s attacks on F-35 fighter jet costs shed light on the ballooning expense and delays of big military programs, but experts say there are limits to what he will be able to do as president to fix them.
Mr. Trump on Monday said the stealthy F-35 jet’s costs were “out of control” and that “billions of dollars can and will be saved on military [and other] purchases.”
The Pentagon’s costliest programs to buy more than 2,400 planes to replace aging combat jets have long been viewed by experts and lawmakers as the most egregious example of cost overruns.
