Boeing Fades Hopes for Massive Chinese Order Ahead of Trump-Xi Summit
Hopes for a major Chinese order of Boeing aircraft have faded ahead of this week's summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to Reuters.
The planemaker is now focused on finalizing a previously announced deal for 200 jets, rather than securing commitments for hundreds more.
This development comes after negotiations remained fluid, with Boeing seeking to complete the May agreement. The two people briefed on the matter cited by Reuters said the company was not prioritizing new large orders at this time.
