Trump’s Election Casts Doubt on Ex-Im: “Boeing’s Bank”

(Forbes, 9 November 2017, Seattle) The reaction from diverse quarters in the aviation industry to Trump’s election was swift. FlightGlobal worried that ExIm and the aerospace supply chain faces uncertainty. “As some Republicans in Congress have blocked nominations to the board of directors, Ex-Im Bank has been unable to approve any loan greater than $10 million for more than a year. That leadership vacuum is unlikely to change under a Trump administration, if the bank is allowed to survive at all,” FlightGlobal wrote.
