Boeing's Deliveries Stopped by China Over Tariff Escalation and Trump's Trade Policies
Boeing's Deliveries Stopped by China
The ongoing trade war between Boeing and China has escalated, with the Chinese government instructing domestic airlines to halt deliveries of Boeing jets. This comes as tariffs imposed under Donald Trump's policies have increased dramatically.
Impacts of the Tariffs
- Chinese airlines are now prohibited from accepting new Boeing jets.
- The order stems from a reciprocal response to the 125% tariffs imposed on U.S. goods.
- Boeing shares have seen a decline of 3% in pre-market trading.
Boeing's Aircraft Deliveries
Boeing is scheduled to deliver several 737 Max aircraft to Chinese carriers, but the potential increase in tariffs would significantly raise costs, making deliveries economically unfeasible. Some paperwork on previous orders may have been completed, possibly allowing limited shipments.
