Boeing Jet Returns To Us From China, A Victim Of Trumps Tariff War

A Boeing jet intended for use by a Chinese airline landed back at the plane makers US production hub on Sunday, a victim of the tit-for-tat bilateral tariffs launched by President Donald Trump in his global trade offensive.

The 737 MAX, which was meant for Chinas Xiamen Airlines, landed at Seattles Boeing Field at 6:11pm, according to a Reuters witness.

It was painted with Xiamen livery.

The jet, which made refueling stops in Guam and Hawaii on its 8 000 km return journey, was one of several 737 MAX jets waiting at Boeings Zhoushan completion center for final work and delivery to a Chinese carrier.

Trump this month raised baseline tariffs on Chinese imports to 145.
