The U.S. is contemplating imposing export controls on Boeing plane parts amid rising tensions with China over trade policies concerning rare earth minerals. This development comes as part of Washington's ongoing strategic maneuvers in response to China's export limits.

Under President Trump's administration, Boeing has frequently been a focal point in reshaping global trade dynamics. The aerospace giant has faced challenges with Chinese airlines, who in April paused new Boeing jet deliveries in protest of U.S. policies. However, Boeing has garnered significant orders from foreign airlines during this turbulent period.

Despite the possible impacts of U.S. export restrictions, analysts suggest the financial repercussions for Boeing might be minimal. The company still holds substantial orders from Chinese airlines, although the market share has declined significantly. Meanwhile, China's efforts to accelerate its commercial jet initiatives with the COMAC C919 continue to face delays due to U.S. parts restrictions.
