During the press conference, Trump said that he had been having discussions with generals and other admirals about bringing down the costs of the F-35 program.
The comments are similar to a tweet from Trump in December criticizing the cost of the F-35 program and saying Trump would renegotiate the prices.
Following the comments, shares of Lockheed slid sharply in trading down 1.17% as of 11:40 a.m ET, a $3.01 per share drop.
