Trump's Response to China's Boeing Decision

United States President Donald Trump has publicly criticized China's recent decision to halt deliveries of Boeing jets, viewing it as a direct retaliation in the escalating trade war between the two nations. This move comes after Washington imposed tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods, prompting Beijing to instruct domestic airlines to cease acquiring aviation equipment from US manufacturers.

Historical Context and Current Accusations

Reflecting on his first term, Trump highlighted Beijing's alleged strategy of targeting key American industries during trade disputes, with US farmers being a notable example. He now accuses China of employing a similar tactic by withdrawing from the Boeing deal. On his Truth Social platform, Trump remarked, "Interestingly, they just reneged on the big Boeing deal, saying that they will 'not take possession' of fully committed to aircraft," suggesting this reflects China's disregard for the previous administration led by Joe Biden.
