President Donald Trump says American aircaft manufacturer Boeing has a deal to sell at least 200 planes to China. Trump told reporters about the sale on Air Force One as he returned from a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump says China reserved the right to buy as many as 750 Boeing planes. Boeing confirmed the 200-plane order later on Friday but did not specify the types of planes or provide any other details. The deal would represent a significant breakthrough for Boeing in a market that was once central to its long-term growth. Trump says the deal also calls for General Electric to supply China with at least 400 engines.
