Trump said China will purchase 200 Boeing aircraft in a landmark deal announced aboard Air Force One on Friday.
He said the agreement, struck during talks with Xi Jinping, could eventually expand to around 750 aircraft total order size.
The White House has not released details, and Boeing has so far offered no official comment on deal either publicly.
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg joined Trump during the Beijing trip with executives seeking expanded access to Chinese markets opportunities there.
Trump also said General Electric would supply 400 to 450 aircraft engines under the prospective agreement deal framework terms plan.
General Electric did not immediately comment on the reported arrangement between the two countries following Trump’s announcement in public statement.
Ortberg previously signaled confidence that US-China negotiations would include aircraft purchases as part of broader trade talks ongoing diplomatic discussions.
He described Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping as a meaningful opportunity for Boeing’s long-term global recovery prospects according to investors.
Ortberg assumed leadership in 2024, a difficult year marked by scrutiny over Boeing’s production and safety failures industry-wide regulatory pressure.
The company also faced a January incident when a door plug panel blew off a 737 Max aircraft mid-flight event.
Later a prolonged machinists strike disrupted 737 Max production and intensified financial strain across Boeing’s manufacturing operations throughout the company.
