After months of trouble,
Boeing got a vote of confidence on Wednesday from President
Donald Trump, whose new
China trade agreement is in part designed to boost the embattled company.

"It's a great company!" Trump said of Boeing at a signing ceremony for the US-China trade agreement attended by Boeing Chief Executive David Calhoun, who officially began as CEO on Monday.
A Boeing board member since 2009, Calhoun was tapped as CEO in December when Boeing ousted Dennis Muilenburg, who was widely criticized for his handling of the 737 MAX crisis after two deadly crashes.
