Overview
- President Trump said in Beijing that China agreed to buy about 200 large Boeing planes.
- He added that the total could rise to 750 and that the jets would use GE Aerospace engines.
- No models, delivery dates, or signed terms were disclosed, and Boeing gave no immediate comment.
- Boeing shares fell about 4% to 5% in New York trading after the claim as investors expected a larger, clearer order.
- If finalized, the deal would be Boeing’s first major China win in years and could help meet fast-rising air travel demand while COMAC’s C919 ramps up more slowly than planned.
