Trump reportedly bought Boeing and GE Aerospace stock before announcing a China-backed order for 200 Boeing planes (potentially expanding to 750), illustrating how geopolitics can lift aerospace demand; Boeing carries about $44.3B in debt but could gain revenue visibility if production stabilizes, while GE Aerospace may profit from engine sales and long‑term maintenance contracts.
