Boeing (BA) is expected to be awarded large aircraft orders during the current diplomatic summit in China, CNBC reported Thursday, citing an interview with US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
These purchase commitments represent a primary economic goal for the visit, and are intended to help balance the trade relationship through increased domestic manufacturing exports, the news outlet quoted Bessent as saying.
The administration is prioritizing these deliverables to stabilize the financial connection between the two countries, the news outlet reported.
Shares of the company were down 3.7% in Thursday trading.
