Trump Says China Agreed to Buy 200 Boeing Jets
President Donald Trump told Fox News that China has agreed to buy 200 Boeing jets, according to a clip aired Thursday.
“One thing he agreed to today, he’s going to order 200 jets. That’s a big thing. Boeings,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity, referring to Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Boeing has not secured a major order from China in nearly a decade, while the country has continued buying from Airbus, Boeing’s main rival.
Trump did not specify which aircraft China could purchase, though analysts had expected any potential order to include hundreds of Boeing’s best-selling 737 Max planes.
