Biden announces Air India-Boeing deal, promises to deep bilateral partnership with Modi
Washington: United States President Joe Biden announced a “historic agreement” between Air India and Boeing on Tuesday, with the Tata-owned airline purchasing 220 aircraft from the American aviation major. This is Boeing’s third biggest sale in dollar value and second biggest sale in terms of quantity.
In a statement, echoing his political plank of reviving US industry and bring jobs back home, Biden said that the US can and will lead the world on manufacturing.
“I am proud to announce today the purchase of over 200 American-made aircraft through a historic agreement between Air India and Boeing. This purchase will support over one million American jobs across 44 states and many will not require four-year college degrees,” Biden said.
