Trump said the Boeing deal would secure many jobs in the United States. According to Fox News, it is about Boeing 737 passenger aircraft, Trump only spoke of “large” machines, the aircraft manufacturer did not comment on the information. The US President will be accompanied on his trip to China by a business delegation that includes Boeing boss Robert Ortberg.
Analysts had expected a more extensive Boeing deal; the investment firm Jefferies assumed up to 500 additional aircraft for China. On Wall Street, Boeing’s share price temporarily fell by more than 4.0 percent.
In the trade dispute with China over Trump’s special tariffs, Boeing initially stated last year that the People’s Republic had refused to accept new machines. The US company later delivered aircraft to China again.
According to Fox News reporter Sean Hannity, Xi also expressed interest in purchasing soybeans from the United States during his meeting with Trump. America’s farmers would benefit from this, the broadcaster wrote on the online service X, citing Trump.
China responded to the high US tariffs with import surcharges on soybeans from the United States. This hit farmers hard, some of whom are part of Trump’s electorate.
