UK to unveil $10b of new Boeing orders: US

WASHINGTON - The United Kingdom will shortly announce $10 billion in new orders for Boeing planes, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Thursday, touting the two countries' new trade deal.

"There's going to be an announcement in the UK that they are buying $10 billion worth of Boeing planes later today," he said.

"But I'm going to let the name of the airline announce it because that's theirs to do," he added with a grin.
