Trump says China to buy 200 Boeing planes, much lower than expected

China has agreed to buy approximately 200 Boeing jets, with a potential for the order to rise to as many as 750 planes, which would be equipped with GE Aerospace engines. The deal includes a promise of up to 750 planes if Boeing performs well. Neither the Chinese government nor Boeing has issued a statement confirming the purchase agreement, which would be a significant breakthrough for the US aerospace company. The value of the 200-aircraft order is estimated to be around $17-19 billion.
