Boeing Returns to Crisis-Mode as India Crash Poses New Test
Advertisement Boeing shares fell 2.2% at 9:48 am in New York, as the uncertainty sparked by tragedy continued to concern investors. Only one passenger out of the 242 people on board survived the accident, which once again associated the planemaker with safety concerns. Airlines around the globe meanwhile waited to to see if regulators would demand new inspections of 787 Dreamliner fleet, or even a grounding, though the cause of the crash remains unknown for now.

'It's a classic moment of crisis management and fast response: getting out there and sending teams to understand what happened, and just being there to reassure people,' aerospace consultant Richard Aboulafia said of the initial tasks for Boeing. 'A lot of life is just showing up.' Advertisement Ortberg and Boeing commercial aircraft head Stephanie Pope spent the initial hours after the tragedy reaching out to Air India executives, 'to offer our full support,' the CEO told employees in a memo viewed by Bloomberg. The Boeing executives also scrapped plans to travel to the Paris Air Show next week, where they'd been expected to showcase Boeing's progress and unveil orders. GE Aerospace, which made the engines on the doomed Dreamliner, canceled a June 17 investor day in Paris. 'Safety is foundational to our industry and is at the core of everything that we do,' Ortberg told employees. 'Please keep the families and loved ones affected by this accident in your thoughts.' It will take investigators weeks, if not months, to sort through the evidence and pinpoint what caused the first fatal crash for Boeing's 787 Dreamliner. That's likely to keep the spotlight on Ortberg and Boeing's safety record, rather than the progress in the factories toward returning to pre-pandemic manufacturing rates. The Air India Dreamliner rolled down almost the entire length of an 11,000-foot runway before lumbering in the air, according to data from FlightRadar24. It only gained about 625 feet of altitude before sinking to the ground with its nose up, suggesting an aerodynamic stall, said aviation consultant Robert Mann. There were several puzzling aspects, including the configuration of the plane's flight surfaces and landing gear — which wasn't retracted. 'It was clearly a case where it was not accelerating and should have been obvious early enough you just reject the takeoff,' Mann said. Investigators will examine what might have caused the loss of power — whether from a bird strike, contaminated fuel, maintenance or pilot error, or some other factor. They say it's less likely the crash was related to the design and build of the 787 itself, which had been flying for Air India for more than 11 years. Advertisement Even still, for Boeing executives 'it's going to be a very tense 24 hours,' Aboulafia said. Ortberg, a low-key Midwesterner and engineer by training, came out of retirement last year to take on one of the tougher turnarounds in corporate America. Boeing was reeling from a near-catastrophe on an airborne 737 Max that spurred investigations, a crackdown by US regulators and a leadership exodus. He's kept a low public profile while preaching internally the importance of instilling a culture that emphasizes civility, respect and pride in workmanship. A working group of employees, formed to craft a statement of values, insisted on urging Boeing's workforce to 'give a damn.' Boeing customers like John Plueger, the chief executive officer of Air Lease, the largest US aircraft financier, have noticed a difference. The manufacturer's planes are arriving on time, after years of chronic delays, Plueger said in an interview last month. The company's jet factories and supply chain seem to have fewer disruptions and quality breakdowns, although they're still a concern, he said. The US planemaker even enjoyed the momentum of a record order placed by Qatar Airways during a visit by Trump, which propelled its May orders to the highest such tally in about 18 months. That momentum risks stalling as the company works to find out what role, if any, Boeing played in the crash.

Advertisement The plane at the center of the tragedy was built during the early days of the 787 program, when Boeing was struggling with the consequences of a decision to offload much of the design and development work to suppliers in order to cut costs. The Dreamliner was the 26th to roll off Boeing's line, placing it among the 60 early aircraft that required extensive rework after they'd rolled out of Boeing's factory north of Seattle. The early turbulence of the 787 Dreamliner had faded as the carbon-composite jet settled into a mostly steady performer for carriers from ANA Holdings Inc. to United Airlines Holdings Inc. While Plueger has confidence in the company's leadership, 'Boeing is not completely out of the woods,' he said. 'It needs to consistently deliver and consistently demonstrate high quality production with no real glitches or problems or safety concerns.' --With assistance from Mary Schlangenstein. ©2025 Bloomberg L.P.

Trump Says China Will Ship Rare Earths in ‘Done' Trade Deal
(Bloomberg) -- Supply Lines is a daily newsletter that tracks global trade. Sign up here. Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire NYC Mayoral Candidates All Agree on Building More Housing. But Where? Senator Calls for Closing Troubled ICE Detention Facility in New Mexico NJ's Sherrill, Ciattarelli Win Primaries in Governor's Race President Donald Trump said a trade framework with China has been completed, with Beijing supplying rare earths and magnets 'UP FRONT' and the US allowing Chinese students into its colleges and universities. The US and China will maintain tariffs at their current, lower levels following the two nations' agreement this week in London, Trump said Wednesday. That number is still higher than before the president took office. Trump said Chinese President Xi Jinping and he must still formally sign off on the agreement. 'OUR DEAL WITH CHINA IS DONE, SUBJECT TO FINAL APPROVAL WITH PRESIDENT XI AND ME,' Trump posted on social media. 'WE ARE GETTING A TOTAL OF 55% TARIFFS, CHINA IS GETTING 10%. RELATIONSHIP IS EXCELLENT!' Follow the The Big Take daily podcast on Apple, Spotify or anywhere you listen. Trump's comments prompted fresh questions about the terms of the pact US and Chinese negotiators reached Tuesday. Markets had a mixed reaction on Wednesday to comments from Trump and his team, with US equity indexes fluctuating throughout the day. 'Trump is mentioning the current tariff status, in a misleading way, to show he has the upper hand,' said Neo Wang, lead China macro analyst at Evercore ISI. In a later post, Trump said Xi and he 'are going to work closely together to open up China to American Trade. This would be a great WIN for both countries!!!' US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, speaking briefly to reporters at the White House later Wednesday, said he thinks the latest pact will be completed within days and that he didn't expect a written version to be released publicly. Trump's initial post suggested China may have to restart rare earth shipments before the US agrees to lower export controls on key technology. And his comments left doubt about whether Beijing could negotiate tariff rates lower. 'They are going to approve all applications for magnets from United States companies right away,' Lutnick said on CNBC. 'As they do that, we'll take off our measures.' The figure Trump posted includes a 10% baseline duty, a 20% charge tied to fentanyl trafficking and roughly 25% from preexisting levies from his first term as well as most favored nation rates, according to a White House official — though the precise total remained unclear. Asked on CNBC if tariff levels will remain unchanged, Lutnick responded 'you can definitely say that.' China's Ministry of Commerce did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The US and China reached an agreement on Tuesday following marathon negotiations to implement the terms of a tariff truce reached last month in Geneva. Investors were closely watching the talks, amid fears that recent tensions could spiral out of control and reignite open trade warfare between the world's two largest economies. Still, details were scarce at the conclusion of the two-day negotiating session and Trump rushed to fill in the void. 'FULL MAGNETS, AND ANY NECESSARY RARE EARTHS, WILL BE SUPPLIED, UP FRONT, BY CHINA,' Trump said in his post. 'LIKEWISE, WE WILL PROVIDE TO CHINA WHAT WAS AGREED TO, INCLUDING CHINESE STUDENTS USING OUR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOOD WITH ME!).' The London meeting came together on short notice following a call last week between Trump and Xi, after both nations accused the other of violating the Geneva accord. US officials accused China of stalling magnet shipments, while Beijing vented anger with fresh Trump administration controls on chip design software, jet engines and student visas. Earlier: China Hit World's Pain Point on Trade — and Will Do So Again That quarrel demonstrated the central role of export controls in the economic rivalry between the two superpowers. China dominates the market for rare earths necessary for defense and electric vehicle production globally, and it also craves more advanced chips to advance its artificial intelligence ambitions. Under the pact, China pledged to speed up shipments of rare earths critical to US auto and defense firms, while Washington agreed to ease some of its own export controls, according to Lutnick. Curbs related to the most advanced chips would remain in place, the Commerce chief said Wednesday. 'It's very clear we are competing with China in the AI race' Lutnick said on CNBC. 'We are just not going to give them our best chips, and of course they want them.' He also said limits on key items like plane parts and ethane the US recently imposed were meant to create leverage for negotiations with Beijing, telling the network 'if you want to annoy us, the United States of America under Donald Trump is strong enough to annoy you back equally.' Geneva Accord The Geneva agreement included a 90-day pause on very high tariffs both nations implemented on each others' imports that amounted to a de facto trade embargo. It's unclear whether that deadline, which expires in August, remains in effect and if the two sides could use the time to further reduce import taxes. The recent round of discussions also did little to repair fundamental issues, such as China's massive trade surplus with the US, and a belief in Washington that Beijing is dumping goods on its markets. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said Tuesday that no further meetings are scheduled, though noted that the sides talk frequently. China's chief trade negotiator Li Chenggang struck a similar tone, telling reporters Tuesday that 'we hope the progress we made will be conducive to building trust.' Trump received a victory on Tuesday when a federal court ruled he could continue to enforce his global tariffs, bolstering leverage in trade talks. The president during his second term invoked emergency powers to impose duties on China, a move that a lower court ruled was illegal. That decision was put on hold by a higher court so it could consider an appeal. --With assistance from James Mayger, Stephanie Lai and Jacob Gu.

Protests Spread to New York, Chicago After LA Imposes Curfew
(Bloomberg) -- Protests over immigration raids stretched into a fifth night in Los Angeles and spread to other cities, including New York, Chicago and Milwaukee, prompting clashes between police and demonstrators. Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry NY Long Island Rail Service Resumes After Grand Central Fire NYC Mayoral Candidates All Agree on Building More Housing. But Where? Senator Calls for Closing Troubled ICE Detention Facility in New Mexico NJ's Sherrill, Ciattarelli Win Primaries in Governor's Race California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom accused President Donald Trump of misusing his power by mobilizing troops in Los Angeles and warned other states to prepare for similar unrest. At least 400 people have been arrested in the greater Los Angeles area since the weekend amid clashes between police and demonstrators rallying in response to increasingly aggressive raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Follow the The Big Take daily podcast on Apple, Spotify or anywhere you listen. Mayor Karen Bass imposed a nighttime curfew on Tuesday in a one-square-mile section of downtown where tensions have run high during days of demonstrations. She said 23 businesses were looted the night before, many were also vandalized and the area had been covered in graffiti. With the curfew in place, police made just 15 arrests — the lowest number since the unrest began over the weekend — before the order was lifted Wednesday morning. Trump has authorized the deployment of up to 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines to the city, a move made over the objections of Newsom and Bass. Both say the federal presence is unnecessary and could further escalate tensions. In an address Tuesday evening, the Democratic governor said Trump had bypassed state and local officials to stage what he called an unlawful and inflammatory military deployment. He urged people to 'stand up' against the moment. 'California may be first – but it clearly won't end here. Other states are next,' Newsom said. 'Democracy is under assault right before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived' The Trump administration has argued the conditions in Los Angeles are spiraling and that federal forces are needed to support immigration agents and restore order. Escalating the federal response, US Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday that the administration is invoking the federal Hobbs Act to take over criminal cases that would normally be prosecuted at the local level in California. 'If you loot the store, we are going to charge you with robbery under the Hobbs Act, and you're looking at maximum 20 years in prison,' she said. In a further expansion of their original assignment to protect federal property, National Guard troops are now directly supporting ICE officers across in the city. Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said the soldiers are providing security as ICE agents 'remove the worst of the worst of Los Angeles.' ICE posted photos on Tuesday showing armed troops standing watch as agents handcuffed suspects during immigration-related operations. Other Cities In New York, Mayor Eric Adams has said the city won't 'allow violence and lawlessness' similar to Los Angeles, while police commissioner Jessica Tisch made clear the New York Police Department wouldn't 'abdicate responsibility' to other forces. On Tuesday evening, demonstrators marched through parts of Lower Manhattan, holding signs that read 'ICE out of NYC,' while some clashed with police officers. Eighty six protesters were taken into custody, with 34 arrested and charged, the NYPD told Bloomberg News. At its peak, there were about 2,000 protesters in the street at different locations, including near ICE's main field office in New York City, according to a person familiar with law enforcement activity. In Chicago, thousands of people gathered on Tuesday night, marching into the city's business district and sometimes clashing with police. At one point a driver sped through the protests, striking one pedestrian, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The police prevented marchers from getting to the Trump International Hotel & Tower. The protests follow increased ICE arrests in the city, where on June 4, federal agents arrests at least 10 undocumented immigrants after asking them to show up at routine immigration check in appointments at the agency's downtown office. Hundreds of people also gathered in Milwaukee to protest recent ICE raids, with Mexican and US flags waved in the crowd. Texas Governor Greg Abbott vowed to use National Guard troops to maintain order during protests against Trump this weekend and after demonstrations broke out in Dallas and Austin. 'Texas National Guard will be deployed to locations across the state to ensure peace and order,' Abbott said in a tweet. Newsom's warning came as active-duty Marines from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Regiment arrived in the Los Angeles area. A US Northern Command spokesperson said the troops would reinforce security at federal sites and assist in 'quick reaction' operations, though their specific location was undisclosed. The Marines are expected to join about 2,100 members of the California National Guard already stationed around the city. Before deploying on the streets, the active-duty troops are undergoing training on crowd-control tactics, including the use of riot shields, CNN reported, citing people familiar with the matter. The Pentagon has said the forces are there to protect immigration agents and federal property, not to engage directly with protesters. Marine Corps Commandant General Eric Smith told lawmakers on Tuesday that the troops are equipped with shields and batons — but will lack authority to make arrests. But city and state officials have pushed back hard against the show of force. Los Angeles Police Department Chief Jim McDonnell said his department received no advance notice of the Marines' arrival and warned of operational challenges if the deployments continue without coordination. The protests began after a wave of public raids by ICE agents swept through parts of Los Angeles starting Friday, hitting workplaces from the city's fashion district to Home Depot parking lots where day laborers gather. According to local officials the raids are expected to continue daily for at least a month. Newsom said in his speech on Tuesday that the arrests included a nine-months pregnant US citizen and a 4-year-old girl. He described agents jumping out of unmarked vans and detaining people in heavily Latino neighborhoods. 'This administration is pushing mass deportations, indiscriminately targeting hardworking immigrant families, regardless of their roots or risk,' said Newsom. ICE has yet to disclose how many people have been detained in the latest Los Angeles-area raids. Daytime protests have remained mostly peaceful, but by nightfall, some rallies have turned volatile. Police have fired less-lethal rounds at crowds, while demonstrators have hurled bottles and set vehicles ablaze, including several self-driving Waymo cars. Protests have been limited to a few parts of a city that spreads over 500 square miles and is connected by a web of freeways. There have been no signs of unrest in areas such as Century City, Hollywood Hills and Santa Monica that are miles away from downtown, with businesses and residents largely unaffected. Trump and Newsom have repeatedly sparred over the response to the protests, with the state suing the administration for mobilizing the National Guard and Marines in the city. Newsom has accused the administration of sending in troops without providing food or water and saying more are being sent in while hundreds sit in federal buildings without orders. The president said on Tuesday that troops would remain in Los Angeles until 'there's no danger.' 'I mean, I could tell you there were certain areas of Los Angeles — you could have called it an insurrection,' Trump said. 'It was terrible. But these are paid insurrectionists. These are paid troublemakers.' Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, testifying before Congress on Tuesday, pushed back on criticism and said the Trump administration is seeking to protect immigration agents and keep demonstrations from getting out of control. ICE 'has the right to safely conduct operations in any state and any jurisdiction in the country, especially after 21 million illegals have crossed our border under the previous administration,' Hegseth said. US law generally bars the use of the active-duty US military — the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines — from carrying out domestic law enforcement. The deployment of the Marines adds to Trump's order over the weekend that directed the US Northern Command to assume control of the National Guard and dispatch them to LA. California and Newsom on Tuesday asked a federal judge in San Francisco to temporarily limit the mobilization in a way that would still let the troops physically protect federal courthouses, offices and personnel, but bar them from helping in federal law enforcement like immigration raids. In its request for an emergency order by early afternoon, attorneys for the state argued that the military deployment 'creates imminent harm to state sovereignty' and 'escalates tensions.' The judge has set deadlines for each side to file written arguments and scheduled a hearing for Thursday afternoon. Bass repeated on Tuesday night that the city has security operations under control. The 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew in downtown Los Angeles, which will likely last for at least several days, is aimed at stopping 'bad actors who are taking advantage of the president's chaotic escalation,' Bass said. 'Law enforcement will arrest individuals who break the curfew, and you will be prosecuted, she said in a post on X. --With assistance from Stephanie Lai and Isabela Fleischmann.

While addressing troops at Fort Bragg in North Carolina on Tuesday, Trump also claimed protesters wearing armor and face shields are being financed by an unknown entity and that the Department of Justice will investigate. A day earlier, Trump suggested that Newsom — a Democrat widely seen as a potential presidential contender in 2028 — could be arrested if he interferes with the federal immigration raids or response to the unrest. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, testifying before Congress on Tuesday, pushed back on criticism and said the Trump administration is seeking to protect immigration agents and keep demonstrations from getting out of control. ICE 'has the right to safely conduct operations in any state and any jurisdiction in the country, especially after 21 million illegals have crossed our border under the previous administration,' Hegseth said.
