Qatar Airways to Buy 210 Boeing Jets

Qatar Airways announced that it planned to buy as many as 210 Boeing jets, the latest deal signed during President Trump’s four-day visit to the Arabian Peninsula.

“It’s the largest order of jets in the history of Boeing,” Trump said, referring to the company’s wide-body jets.

The president boasted that the deal was worth $200 billion, but a fact sheet from the White House said the true number was $96 billion.

GE Aerospace, which builds the jets’ engines, was also partner to the deal.

The United States and Qatar also signed a statement of defense cooperation.
