Trump Criticizes China's Sudden Halt on Boeing Jet Deliveries Amid Trade War Escalation

Trump's Strong Response to China's Boeing Decision

In a recent development that has escalated the ongoing trade tensions between the United States and China, President Donald Trump has publicly criticized China's decision to halt deliveries of Boeing jets. This move comes as part of a broader trade war that has seen the US imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods.

China's Retaliatory Measures

Beijing has also directed its domestic airlines to cease acquiring aviation equipment and components from US manufacturers. Trump has labeled this as a retaliatory action, pointing to a pattern of targeting key American industries during trade disputes.

Historical Context and Current Accusations

Reflecting on his first term, Trump accused China of employing similar tactics, citing the targeting of US farmers as an example. He further criticized China's recent withdrawal from the Boeing deal, suggesting it reflects a lack of respect for the previous administration under President Joe Biden.

"Interestingly, they just reneged on the big Boeing deal, saying that they will 'not take possession' of fully committed to aircraft," Trump stated on Truth Social.
