RUSH EXCERPT:
BESSENT: "Well, I don‘t know, Jake. The French gave us the Statue of Liberty. The British gave us the resolute desk. I‘m not sure they asked for anything in advance. And the more important airplane deal was there‘s 100 billion of orders from qatari airlines to Boeing. Kelly ortberg, the CEO of Boeing, was the with with us in the Middle East. This is the biggest order in the country‘s in the company‘s history. So you know, I think that that plane deal is much more important than this other one."
