China confirms 200 Boeing jet purchase as part of Trump-Xi trade truce extension

China's Commerce Ministry confirmed that China will purchase 200 Boeing aircraft, fulfilling a key commercial commitment from the Trump-Xi summit. Both sides also signaled they are working toward extending the bilateral tariffs truce that was agreed in October. The deal represents the most tangible outcome of the Trump-Xi meetings and provides a boost to Boeing's commercial aviation division. The purchase is widely interpreted as a Chinese goodwill gesture to maintain the fragile trade détente.
