President Donald Trump of the United States has slammed China for refusing to accept Boeing aircraft amid the ongoing trade war between the two countries.
Trump in a Truth Social post on Thursday, called the rejection another example of China taking advantage of the US.
The Eastern Updates reports that Boeing CEO, Kelly Ortberg had on Wednesday, told CNBC that China stopped taking delivery of aircraft over the tariff war.
The CEO added that some 737 Max planes heading to China were rejected and are being flown back to the US.
Reacting, Trump said “Boeing should default China for not taking the beautifully finished planes that China committed to purchase”.
According to Trump, the rejection is “just a small example of what China has done to the USA, for years”, lamenting that “Fentanyl continues to pour into our Country from China, through Mexico and Canada, killing hundreds of thousands of our people, and it better stop, NOW!” Trump said on Truth Social.
The US had imposed a 145 percent tariff on China, maintaining a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs on other trading partners.
United States President Donald Trump on Friday said that Crimea will stay with Russia amid the country’s ongoing war with Ukraine.
Trump made the statement during a wide-ranging interview with TIME magazine.
The US leader said, “Zelenskyy understands that and everybody understands that it [Crimea] is been with them [Russia] for a long time.”
Crimea is a strategic peninsula along the Black Sea in southern Ukraine.
In 2014, Crimea was seized by Russia while Barack Obama was President of the US.
“The people speak largely Russian in Crimea,” Trump added.
“But this was given by [Barack] Obama. This was not given by Trump.”
This comes after Trump recently accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of prolonging the war by resisting peace negotiations with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin.
