Uzbekistan Signs $8B Boeing Dreamliner Deal Creating 35,000 U.S. Jobs

U.S. President Donald Trump praised Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev for signing a landmark aviation deal with Boeing, describing it as a “GREAT Deal” valued at over $8 billion. The agreement involves Uzbekistan Airways purchasing 22 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, which Trump highlighted would create more than 35,000 jobs in the United States. This deal underscores a long-standing strategic partnership between Uzbekistan and Boeing and marks a significant step in Uzbekistan’s efforts to modernize its aviation sector and expand international connectivity. The announcement occurred during President Mirziyoyev’s business program in New York City, alongside the UN General Assembly, where he engaged with American officials, corporate leaders, and investors to deepen economic ties. Experts suggest the deal could positively impact Boeing’s stock and related industrial ETFs due to the strong international demand for U.S. manufactured products. The transaction is part of a broader trend of major Boeing orders coinciding with global leaders’ meetings in New York, showcasing Boeing’s role as a leading U.S. exporter.
