Boeing Pain From U.S.-China Trade War Seen in Airbus Buying Bonanza

(Bloomberg) — After Boeing Co.’s European archrival revealed a major deal to provide aircraft to Chinese carriers, the U.S.-based planemaker bemoaned its home country’s trade war with China for bruising its business prospects.

“As a top U.S. exporter with a 50-year relationship with China’s aviation industry, it is disappointing that geopolitical differences continue to constrain U.S. aircraft exports,” a Boeing spokesperson said Friday in a statement.
