China to Order 200 Jets From Boeing, Trump Says

By

China is set to place an order for 200 jets from Boeing, US President Donald Trump told Fox News on Thursday.

"One thing [Chinese President Xi Jinping] agreed to today, he's going to order 200 jets. That's a big thing. Boeings," Trump said.

"Boeing wanted 150, he got 200... I think it was a commitment," the president added.

However, Boeing's shares fell nearly 5% in NYSE trading on Thursday.

Bloomberg Intelligence analyst George Ferguson said an order for 200 jets "is a disappointment for a market looking for 300 or more and details around type."

"China has only ordered 39 Boeing planes this decade," Ferguson noted.
