Boeing is set to receive a significant order from Qatar Airways.

According to News Nation, during President Donald Trump’s visit to Doha Wednesday, Qatar Airways will be announcing an agreement to buy 150 aircraft from Boeing.

Bloomberg reported the large order will be for wide-body jets and will include an option to purchase more. The media outlet also noted the deal is part of a broader Trump plan to have more countries invest in U.S. manufacturing.

Boeing would not confirm the deal with News Nation and Qatar Airways did not respond to a request for comment.

Earlier Tuesday, it was announced the family of a former Boeing quality control manager who killed himself has settled a lawsuit against the company. The manager was previously questioned by lawyers about his whistleblowing on alleged jumbo jet defects.
