  • Hello and welcome to World Business Report here on the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Rahul Tandon.

  • At the beginning of this week, we brought you news, didn't we,

  • of those trade talks between China and the US tariffs being dropped by both sides.

  • But both of them are still trying to get caught, are still trying to court partners.

  • So let's take a close look at how the world's two biggest trading economies are actually doing that.

  • Let's start with the US President Donald Trump.

  • who's continuing his tour of the Gulf.

  • He signed a series of deals in Qatar, including a huge order for Boeing planes.

  • It's the largest order of jets in the history of Boeing.

  • That's pretty good.

  • It's over $200 billion, but $160 billion in terms of the jets.

  • That's fantastic.

  • So that's a record.

  • And congratulations to Boeing.

  • Get those planes out there.

  • Our North America editor, Sarah Smith, is travelling with Mr Trump.

  • In Qatar, he has signed a huge deal, 160 new aircraft being purchased from Boeing,

  • which will, of course, be made in America.

  • Probably the biggest airline deal that has ever been done.
