PRESIDENT Donald Trump plans to revive the hobbled Export-Import Bank of the United States, his office said, a victory for American manufacturers such as Boeing Co and General Electric Co which have overseas customers that use the agency's government-backed loans to purchase their products.
Mr Trump first told The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday he would fill two vacancies on the agency's five-member board that have prevented the bank from having a quorum and being able to act on loans over US$10 million. Mr Trump's picks must gain approval from the Senate, which blocked nominees by former President Barack Obama.
