Earlier today, we reported that Boeing had concluded a $3 billion deal to sell airplanes to Iran. Not so fast: the Trump administration is “undertaking a critical review” of these disastrous and arguably treasonous deals that Obama enabled.
“Airplane Sales to Iran Put Under Critical Review By Trump Admin,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, April 5, 2017:

The Trump administration is undertaking a critical review of Obama administration-era policies permitting the sale of American airplanes to Iran, which have been used in the past to ferry weapons to terrorists and conduct other illicit activities, according to U.S. officials familiar with the situation.
U.S. airline manufacturer Boeing announced on Tuesday that it had reached a memorandum of understanding with Iran guaranteeing the sale of up to 60 planes pending review by the Trump administration.
Sources who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon speculated the latest announcement, which was announced earlier in the day by Iran, could be meant to pressure U.S. officials to sign off on the deal.
While the newly installed administration had come under fire earlier this year for seeming to continue Obama-era policies meant to approve these sales, U.S. officials now tell the Free Beacon that all past and future deals are coming under review by the new administration as part of a larger assessment of the landmark Iran nuclear deal.
The review of sales between Boeing and Iran represent a first step to possibly canceling the deals, which have come under criticism by U.S. lawmakers and foreign policy experts who maintain the Islamic Republic will use the American aircraft to boost its air force and illicit weapons trade, according to multiple sources who spoke to the Free Beacon.
“Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control [OFAC] will be reviewing aviation licensing as part of the National Security Council’s ongoing interagency review of the Iran deal,” a Treasury Department official told the Free Beacon.
The move represents a departure from the Obama administration’s policy, which promoted the sale of airplanes to Iran across the United States and Europe….

It might be interesting to find out if anyone from Boeing had been contributing to Obama / Hillary Clinton / Clinton Foundation. Just sayin’

A company the size of Boeing normally donates heavily to both political parties. Right now, they have a 179-plane contract that, along with an 81-plane order by FedEx (more than halfway complete), is keeping the 767 program alive.

Airlines are black holes to which investment capital is poured. The best thing to accelerate destruction of the iranian economy is an airline.

Never help Muslim countries when can be helped
Money does not find its way to arming terrorism
The less aircraft Muslims have the more flights by other major airlines, may even boost US flights.
Must put pressure on Europe not to sell Airbus to Muslim countries

The Barack Hussein Obama-administration ought to be prosechted for the tax-money funneling to Iran, Egyptian Islamic terrorist groups, Fatah, for arming of Islamistisis, protecting Boko Haram & other crimes.

The sheer complexity of all the ways government is screwed up due to the previous admin makes it seem almost like an intractable problem to try and fix it.

As I have said before, Trump is going into his tenure as President in the same way a college football coach is hired to revive a sagging program. He will spend his first year eliminating and reversing losing habits and attitudes.

I guess we’ll find out if Trump was serious about making America great again and creating jobs for Americans, or if he’s going to cave to the Israel lobby and throw Americans under the bus.

No concern, just place a hidden bomb in each plane remote controlled.
