Updates
Later, 7:45 a.m. Central Time: wow, wow, wow. The original post was posted just a couple of hours ago. The story at that link has been updated, and a story at the Los Angeles Times has confirmed that Boeing surprised Airbus by getting their deal signed first. Airbus still holds out hope they will also seal a huge deal. Buyers are still comparing the Dreamliner against the Airbus workhorse, the A380. The Boeing 787-10 typically lists for $312.8 million. Delivery will begin in 2022.
Boeing builds the 787 at its plant in North Charleston, SC, which President Trump visited in February.
Original Post
Fake news: lead story at Yahoo!Finance right now, a Bloomberg story with this headline -- "Trump's $250 billion China haul is big number, little substance." We are barely into the start of the visit, and already that conclusion.Since then, any number of mega-deals coming out of the China-Trump visit. This next story (see below) is not from China but follows very closely on the heels of this China-Trump visit story:
The Bloomberg article failed to mention this story in ibttimes: Trump's China visit: Boeing inks $37 billion deal to sell 300 aircraft. Three hundred aircraft.The newest business deal to be announced during the Trump administration, from Reuters: Boeing appears close to sealing a deal to sell 40 of its longest version of its Dreamliner family to Emirates, and may even surprise Airbus by grabbing an early order from Dubai for 787-10 Dreamliners in a deal worth nearly $15 billion.
