Boeing may have to wait for Trump before it can resolve major legal problem
Published On Jan 6, 2025, 9:50 AM
Boeing is currently facing significant legal challenges related to previous accidents involving its 737 Max airplanes. The U.S. Justice Department is working with Boeing to amend a plea deal that was previously rejected by a judge due to concerns about the inclusion of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) factors in the agreement. The resolution of these legal issues is anticipated to be delayed until the new Trump administration takes over in January 2025. Boeing has made commitments to improve safety and quality control following recent incidents, but its legal troubles complicate its path forward.
