Trump's Jet Engine Joke Highlights Massive Boeing Deal with Qatar Airways

Trump Jokes About Upgrading His Jet After Massive Qatar Airways-Boeing Deal Doha, Qatar – During a business roundtable in Doha on Thursday, May 15th, former US President Donald Trump made headlines with a lighthearted comment about his private jet. Speaking alongside representatives from Qatar Airways and Boeing, Trump remarked, “General Electric, I hear, makes the best large aeroplane engine in the world by not even a contest. Maybe I can change my engines one day of my plane.” This seemingly offhand remark came amidst the announcement of a significant deal: Qatar Airways' purchase of around 160 Boeing aircraft, a transaction Trump touted as one of the largest in Boeing's history. The deal underscores the ongoing economic ties between the US and Qatar, and highlights the continuing influence of Trump in the business world. The video of the event, circulating widely online, shows Trump seated at a table with Qatari and American officials, American and Qatari flags prominently displayed in the background. His comments, while humorous, also serve as a testament to the success of the Boeing-Qatar Airways agreement. While the jet engine comment was lighthearted, the underlying message of the deal’s success is significant. The substantial order from Qatar Airways represents a major win for Boeing and the US economy, further solidifying the strategic partnership between the two nations.
