Boeing CEO says it should have refused Trump’s Air Fore One deal that has cost it $660m
IndependentJUL 2022
It's pretty clear that the former president used the bully pulpit of the presidency to strongarm Boeing on this deal. Trump publicly cancelled the order while placing enormous stress on Boeing's access to other foreign markets, including most notably China.
Acting as a responsible steward of US taxpayer dollars, Trump intervened and used his business genius to negotiate a better deal with Boeing. Now, after years of internal strife and high-profile product failures, management is trying to point fingers at the former president for its own setbacks.
