Boeing Closing In on 250-Jet Order as Trump Hosts Erdogan

Boeing and Lockheed Martin are set to receive a major aircraft order from Turkey. The deal, which could be finalized as early as next week, involves the purchase of up to 250 commercial planes from Boeing and additional F-16 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin. The potential agreement comes amid ongoing discussions about Turkey's participation in the F-35 fighter jet program, which has been a point of contention between Turkey and the United States. The order could help resolve the long-running dispute over the F-35 program. The negotiations are expected to take place during Turkish President Erdogan's visit to the White House, where he will meet with President Trump. The agreement would represent a significant boost for both Boeing and Lockheed Martin, as they seek to expand their presence in the lucrative Turkish aviation market.
