Sharjah 24 – AFP: US President Donald Trump said Thursday that China has agreed to purchase 200 Boeing aircraft, describing it as an order for “200 big ones” during a broadcast interview.

Speaking to Fox News, Trump said the deal followed discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping, calling it “a commitment” and highlighting the potential job impact in the United States.

Reports in US media had previously suggested a much larger possible order, while Boeing has not yet commented on the announcement.

The news came as Boeing shares fell after excerpts of the interview were released, amid ongoing market attention on US-China trade and aviation deals.
