Jump to postTrump never shows his cards until the end. Until then everything is posturing. Let it play out.
I personally would like the deal to go thru - I'm happy seeing the Iranians spend money on airliners, instead of giving them billions in cash like Obama did to fund terrorism.
The higher percentage of WB frames delivered B vs A will keep the keep the crown in Seattle for years to come. If Boeing can maintain that.
