Trump Threatens Export Controls on Boeing Parts as China Trade Tensions Escalate
October 11, 2025, 6:38 AM. President Trump signaled the U.S. could impose export controls on Boeing aircraft parts in response to China’s curbs on rare-earth exports. The move would target the U.S. aerospace supply chain, including CFM International engines from GE Aerospace and Safran. Beijing’s actions have already clipped potential orders, while Boeing remains active in talks to sell hundreds of jets to China. Analysts say any short-term hit to Boeing from a controls shock could be modest, even as the policy debate highlights how trade policy and export controls intertwine with aerospace. China’s share of Boeing’s orders has fallen to under 5%, though airlines still operate thousands of jets. A ban on western parts could also stall the domestically built COMAC C919, underscoring broader geopolitical risk to aerospace ecosystems.
