Boeing shares drop 4% after Trump announces China orders just 200 jets

China has agreed to ​buy 200 Boeing jets, U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News Channel on Thursday, a number that was far fewer than analysts had expected, and the planemaker’s shares fell, Reuters reported. 

Details of the deal were not immediately available, including when and which type of jets would be delivered, but the amount was much smaller than the roughly 500-plane package that sources told Reuters was under discussion ahead of a meeting on Thursday between Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
