Trump eyes deal on new jets at Boeing factory visit

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday, March 14, "we'll find a way" to purchase 24 Boeing F-18 Super Hornets from Boeing. Trump saw aircraft prototypes and met employees as he toured a Boeing factory in Saint Louis, Missouri. "We're working on price. And maybe we can work out a good price. Otherwise we're going to buy them from somebody else," Trump said. "Are we going to make a deal?" Trump asked Boeing President Dennis Muilenburg. 'We'll find a way," Muilenburg responded. The exchange between Trump and Muilenburg came during a roundtable discussion about tax reform with area business leaders hosted by Boeing. Credit: AP
