Boeing, the biggest US exporter, had sought $60 billion in federal support for itself and the 17,000 suppliers and contractors in its supply chain. "We can't let anything happen to Boeing," Trump said at a White House briefing. Later in the briefing, Trump said that he thought Boeing "probably" will seek federal support. A key test flight of the Boeing 737 MAX has been pushed back by a month to May due to the upheaval of the coronavirus crisis, sources told AFP earlier this week.
