Did Trump Force China’s Hand? Beijing Nears 500-Jet Boeing Deal Ahead Of Xi Summit<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Boeing shares moved higher in late-afternoon trading in New York after Bloomberg News<\/a> reported that the planemaker may be nearing one of the largest sales in its history, potentially to be unveiled during President Trump’s trip to China later this month.<\/p>\n

People familiar with the potential Boeing-China jet deal said it could be announced during President Trump’s trip to Beijing from March 31 to April 2. They said the deal includes a 500-plane order for 737 Max jets, with additional talks covering approximately 100 widebody aircraft, including 787 Dreamliners and 777Xs.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Boeing aircraft have long been at the center of US-China trade talks, as well as tit-for-tat trade disputes. If the deal materializes, it would mark one of Boeing’s biggest sales ever and end years of a Chinese jet sales drought.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg offered a caveat:<\/p>\n

There’s a chance that the talks could reach an impasse and a deal not be completed, they cautioned. The nation’s leaders were closing in on a similar agreement last year and in 2023. The two sides are still negotiating the specifics of the announcement, with the US pushing for a firm commitment and not just a headline-grabbing dollar value, said one of the people.<\/em><\/p>\n

Shares of Boeing jumped about 2% on the news.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Bloomberg noted that Boeing declined to comment, while China’s Ministry of Commerce did not respond to a request for comment. We caution that the report relies on unnamed sources.<\/p>\n

Our view is that a headline like this appears highly unusual (the scale of the order suggest more than simply a gesture of goodwill<\/strong>), particularly as Trump has moved to squeeze Beijing’s access to cheap crude from Venezuela and Iran.<\/p>\n

Even with the risk of an energy shock, Beijing now appears to be on the verge of buying a record number of U.S. commercial jets, which suggests Trump may have gained some leverage (perhaps through his two-month crusade with America’s military) ahead of the planned Trump-Xi meeting later this month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
