Boeing's last order from China's authorities came in 2017, when Trump visited Beijing.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that China had agreed to purchase 200 Boeing jets, speaking of an order for "200 big ones" in a broadcast interview.
"It was sort of like a statement but I think it was a commitment," Trump said, describing his conversation with President Xi Jinping in a Fox News interview.
"That's a lot of jobs," Trump told Fox host Sean Hannity in excerpts released by the broadcaster.
Shares fell after the spots were released.
