White House: Deals that Trump signed with Qatar will ‘generate at least $1.2 trillion’
[IsraelTimes] Agreements signed by US President Donald Trump and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani will “generate an economic exchange worth at least $1.2 trillion,” the White House says in a fact sheet summarizing some of the deals’ details.

The agreements include a $96 billion deal with Qatar Airways to buy up to 210 Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777X airplanes with GE Aerospace engines, the fact sheet says. They also include a statement of intent that could lead to $38 billion in investments at Qatar’s Al Udeid Air Base and other air defense and maritime security capabilities, it says.

Given, Boeing was contracted in 2018 to build the AF-1 Replacements and has failed to still deliver in 2025. Plus, now we read some MSM sources are saying, it maybe even 2029 now.
Note: Which suspiciously is after Trump leaves office. 🤔

So, how can Qatar, expect Boeing to deliver 210 Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777X Jets?

#2 My first guess is that one has rather strict and custom mil-spec requirements and the others don't.
