Trump's Bold Statement on Boeing and China

United States President Donald Trump made a striking comment on Thursday, suggesting that The Boeing Company should "default China" for not fulfilling its promise to purchase "beautifully finished planes." This statement comes as tensions between the two nations continue to escalate.

The Underlying Issues

Trump didn't stop at Boeing. He highlighted a broader issue, stating, "This is just a small example of what China has done to the USA, for years..." He also pointed out the ongoing Fentanyl crisis, accusing China of letting the drug pour into the U.S. through Mexico and Canada, leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths.

Boeing's Response

Amid the trade war with Washington, China has decided to return the planes ordered from Boeing. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg revealed to CNBC that about 50 planes intended for Beijing might not be delivered as planned, marking a significant turn in the ongoing trade disputes.
