The White House announced Wednesday that the United States and Qatar have reached an agreement that will generate at least $1.2 trillion in economic exchange.
Trump signed the deal in Doha during the second leg of his Middle East trip this week after departing Saudi Arabia earlier in the day.
“Today in Qatar, President Donald J. Trump signed an agreement with Qatar to generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion,” the White House noted in a fact sheet.
In addition to the agreement, the document states the U.S. and Qatar companies have come to terms on economic deals equaling $243.5 billion.
The $243.5 billion in deals between the nations is headlined by Qatar Airways’ $96 billion agreement with Boeing and GE Aerospace to buy as many as “210 American-made Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777X aircraft powered by GE Aerospace engines,” a White House fact sheet noted.
This marks a record-breaking order for Boeing.
