http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-t ... SKBN1411HFU.S. President-elect Donald Trump took aim at another major defense contractor on Monday, saying the cost of Lockheed Martin's F-35 fighter jet program was too high.
The aerospace giant's shares dropped about 4 percent in early trading after Trump's tweet, while shares of several other defense contractors also weakened.
"The F-35 program and cost is out of control," Trump said on Twitter. "Billions of dollars can and will be saved on military (and other) purchases after January 20th."

I really don't think any change will happen as the MIC has to much power in the Congress. One solution would be let the contracts continue but raise the rent on Air Force Plant number 4 were they are produced. That would be a solution Trunip would love cause it deals with real estate.
