Qatar Plans to Buy Boeing Aircraft in ‘Large’ Deal, Trump Says - Bloomberg:

Qatar plans to purchase aircraft from Boeing Co., said President Donald Trump, who described the deal as a “large transaction” that would be signed Tuesday. 


Trump didn’t indicate whether Qatar was signing a new agreement, or following up on previous agreements, including a $1.8 billion deal announced last month at the Paris Air Show for five Boeing-777 freighters. That sale wasn’t listed in Boeing’s June orders, meaning the final contracts hadn’t been signed.

“It’s a transaction that will be purchasing a lot of Boeing jets and a lot of money spent in our country and that means a lot of jobs,” Trump told reporters at the White House, where he was meeting with the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani.
