AsianFin -- Boeing is planning to resell dozens of aircraft that have been blocked from reaching China due to tariffs, following the recent repatriation of a third jet to the U.S. as part of a delivery impasse. The move came amid fresh criticism of Beijing from U.S. President Donald Trump, who weighed in on the issue on Thursday.

The decision to prevent a repeat of past disruptions, such as the costly buildup of undelivered jets during previous safety and trade crises, reflects Boeing’s broader strategy to protect its finances amid ongoing challenges. The company is striving to conserve cash and reduce debt, while navigating tensions that threaten its operations.

On Wednesday, Boeing took the unusual step of publicly highlighting the potential sale of the affected jets during an analyst call. The company expressed confidence that it would have no trouble finding buyers in the tight aircraft market, signaling its determination to mitigate the impact of the trade standoff on its bottom line.
