Boeing has secured a pair of major orders in the Middle East during a visit to the region by President Donald Trump.
The White House announced that President Donald Trump secured economic exchanges with Qatar worth $1.2 trillion, a figure which includes a historic order for Boeing airliners.

Boeing said on Tuesday it delivered 45 commercial jets in April, nearly twice the 24 airplanes it delivered during the same month a year ago.
