Trump Meets MBS as He Seeks Saudi Investment, China Lifts Boeing Ban | Bloomberg The Pulse 05/13
President Donald Trump is in Saudi Arabia on his first major overseas trip since taking office. He is meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman alongside a large group of senior officials and CEOs. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is also in Riyadh where he told an investment forum he’s upbeat on trade talks with nations in Asia and that progress with Europe will be slower. Meanwhile China has removed a month-long ban on airlines taking delivery of Boeing planes, according to people familiar with the matter, following a breakthrough in trade talks with the US that temporarily slashed tariffs on each side. Officials in Beijing have started to tell domestic carriers and government agencies this week that deliveries of US-made aircraft can resume, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is confidential.
