#USChinaTensions China sends back Boeing jet worth $55m as Trump tariffs continue to hurt trade

A Boeing 737 MAX sent for delivery to China’s Xiamen Airlines returned to the US on Sunday, underscoring the deepening rift in trade relations between the world’s two largest economies.

The aircraft, which had been awaiting final delivery at Boeing’s facility in Zhoushan, landed at the Boeing Field in Seattle at 6.11pm, according to a Reuters witness. It still bore the livery of Xiamen Airlines.
