A Boeing jet intended for use by a Chinese airline landed back at the planemaker’s U.S. production hub on Sunday, a victim of the tit-for-tat bilateral tariffs launched by President Donald Trump in his global trade offensive.

A Boeing 737 Max, which was set to be added to the Xiamen Airlines fleet, returned to Boeing's Seattle airbase after high tariffs of US imports into China prompted the higher costs of purchasing the $55 million aircraft.
