Boeing landed its biggest-ever aircraft order during the second leg of Donald Trump’s Middle East trip, marking a comeback from crisis for the planemaker. Qatar Airways agreed to buy as many as 210 aircraft in a pact the US valued at $96 billion, although customers typically negotiate steep discounts. The White House said the president secured deals with the tiny Gulf nation totaling more than $243.5 billion, laying the groundwork for a bigger $1.2 trillion economic pledge.
