China Orders Airlines To Suspend Boeing Jet Deliveries Amid Trade War

China has ordered its airlines not to take any further deliveries of Boeing BA.N jets in response to the U.S. decision to impose 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday (April 15), citing people familiar with the matter. Shares of Boeing — which looks at China as one of its biggest growth markets and where rival Airbus AIR.PA holds a dominant position — were down 2% in early trading. China's top three airlines - Air China, China Eastern Airlines, and China Southern Airlines - had planned to take delivery of Boeing planes, respectively, between 2025 and 2027. Beijing has also asked that Chinese carriers halt purchases of aircraft-related equipment and parts from U.S. companies, the Bloomberg report said. China's move to halt purchases of aircraft-related components is expected to raise maintenance costs for the jets flying in the country. Beijing's action also follows its decision last week to hike levies on U.S. imports to 125% in retaliation against U.S. tariffs, which would significantly raise the cost of Boeing jets bound for Chinese carriers.

Judge Finds Probable Cause To Hold Trump Administration In Contempt For Violating Deportation Order

A federal judge says he's found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt of court for violating his orders to turn around planes carrying deportees to El Salvador. U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg said Wedneday that the administration must try to “purge” itself of a contempt finding or he'll launch hearings and potentially refer the matter for prosecution. The move by Boasberg marks an escalation in a battle between the judicial and executives branches of government over a president’s powers to carry out key White House priorities.
