The aircraft construction company Boeing is urgently looking for "alternative" buyers for aircraft supplied to China, which Beijing refuses to buy due to the trade war with the United States. This is stated in a Bloomberg article, reports UNN.

It is noted that China has stopped accepting aircraft previously ordered from Boeing amid high import duties imposed against the country by US President Donald Trump.
We are in close communication with our Chinese customers and are actively assessing the possibilities of reselling already manufactured aircraft, as well as those in the process of assembly. This raised doubts about the fate of about 50 aircraft that were to be sent to China this year
He explained that the company is striving to "reduce the consequences" in the context of the supply of its jet aircraft and "restore profits".
"We are in close communication with our customers in China and are actively evaluating options for remarketing already built or ready-made aircraft," added the CEO of Boeing.
