Boeing finds solace in Trump tweets amid Saudi corruption purge

London

BOEING Co said it's confident that it will keep winning business in Saudi Arabia and benefit from the overhaul of the economy, even after a government-orchestrated corruption purge a week ago engulfed the oil-rich country.

The US manufacturer is getting support from President Donald Trump, who sent approving messages on the arrest of billionaire businessmen, officials and royals last week in a crackdown as Saudi officials said more than US$100 billion has been misused over decades.
