China has sent back planes it ordered from the US in its latest retaliation over Trump tariffs, the boss of aircraft maker Boeing has said. Kelly Ortberg said two planes had already been returned and another would follow after trade tensions between the two countries escalated.

In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump said the Boeing dispute was a minor example of broader harm caused by China, which he also blamed for fueling America’s fentanyl crisis via Mexico and Canada.
