"Trump says US should buy 200 Boeing planes to keep the Persian Gulf open." US President Donald Trump has announced that China should buy 200 Boeing aircraft. This is part of a proposal that Trump claims aims to help keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Trump stated that Chinese leader Xi Jinping has offered to assist with this, and he says Xi wants an agreement reached and has offered his help to get there. However, China has yet to confirm this.
