China Halts Boeing Deliveries Amid US Tariff Escalation

In response to the U.S. imposing a 145% tariff on Chinese goods, China has ordered its airlines to halt all deliveries of Boeing aircraft, escalating the ongoing trade tensions between the two countries. This directive includes suspending purchases of aircraft-related equipment and parts from U.S. manufacturers. The Chinese government is also considering measures to support airlines leasing Boeing jets, which are now facing increased costs due to the tariffs. Meanwhile, Ryanair's CEO expressed concerns that similar tariffs could lead to delays in their Boeing aircraft deliveries as well. The situation highlights the significant impact of trade policies on the aviation industry and international relations. As both countries navigate these tensions, the future of Boeing's operations in China remains uncertain.
