Boeing's deal with Qatar Airways comes as Qatar offered to donate a $400 million 747-8 jumbo jet for President Donald Trump to use as a temporary Air Force One.

Boeing has secured a pair of major orders in the Middle East during a visit to the region by President Donald Trump.

John Barnett, 62, died by suicide last year after he faced questions from lawyers for several days over his safety concerns.

Boeing was supposed to deliver a replacement for Air Force One last year, but significant delays have cost the plane maker billions on the project. They have also drawn ire from the president, who told reporters aboard Air Force One in February that he was “not happy with Boeing” and may purchase a plane elsewhere.

A $96 billion deal with Qatar Airways comes as Boeing struggles to deliver its Air Force One replacement and Trump seems poised to accept a Boeing jet from the Qatari royal family.
