President Trump: US will ‘protect’ Boeing from coronavirus fallout

President Donald Trump says the US govt will “protect” Boeing from the adverse effects of the coronavirus downturn, suggesting financial aid to Boeing and other aerospace companies may be part of a pending economic relief plan. “We are looking at that,” says Trump Tuesday when asked if his govt intends to financially assist aerospace manufacturers like Boeing and General Electric. “We have to protect Boeing,” Trump adds. “We absolutely have to help Boeing.” Trump’s comments came the day his administration announced it will seek congressional approval for a broad aid package to individuals and to businesses in variety of sectors, including the airline industry. <br/>
