- Families of the 346 victims from the Boeing 737 MAX crashes intend to object to a tentative nonprosecution agreement with the U.S. Justice Department.
- The agreement would prevent Boeing from facing a trial and being labeled a convicted felon, which families view as a setback.
- Attorney Paul Cassell stated that the deal fails to hold Boeing accountable for what has been termed the 'deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history.'
- The Justice Department has yet to finalize the agreement and will continue to engage with the families before making a decision.
Any deal along the lines described by DOJ yesterday fails to hold Boeing accountable for the 'deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history.'— Paul Cassell, lawyer for the families of the crash victims, speaks out against a tentative nonprosecution agreement allowing Boeing to avoid prosecution.

- He also highlighted security concerns regarding the purchase of Chinese aircraft and mentioned that Ryanair has not engaged with Chinese manufacturer COMAC since 2011.
"If the US government proceeds with its ill-judged plan to impose tariffs, and if these tariffs materially affect the price of Boeing aircraft exports to Europe, then we would certainly reassess both our current Boeing orders, and the possibility of placing those orders elsewhere."— Michael O'Leary, CEO of Ryanair, in a letter to a senior US politician.

- Boeing has faced numerous issues for years, and new tariffs could worsen the situation.
- The tariffs might increase production costs and intensify competition with Airbus in China, where Boeing has already lost market share.
- Despite a backlog of 195 planes from China and high aircraft demand, Boeing could struggle if more countries impose similar tariffs.
- Reliance on imported parts makes aircraft production vulnerable to rising costs, which Boeing, however, considers manageable.
