President Donald Trump told Fox News that China has agreed to buy 200 Boeing jets, according to a clip that aired Thursday.
“One thing he agreed to today, he’s going to order 200 jets. That’s a big thing. Boeings,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity, referring to Chinese PresidentXi Jinping.
Analysts had expected a big order of Boeing aircraft to come out of Trump’s visit to China though expectations were for an order of around 500 aircraft. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg and other top executives from U.S. companies joined Trump on the trip.
Trump didn’t specify which aircraft China could purchase from Boeing, though analysts had expected a potential order to include hundreds of Boeing’s best-selling 737 Max planes.
Boeing and the White House didn’t immediately comment.
The manufacturer hasn’t won a major order from China in almost a decade.
