Trump proposes banning Chinese airlines from flying over Russia on flights to and from the United States, saying the practice puts American carriers at a disadvantage. Flying over Russia allows Chinese airliners to save time and fuel.
Russia has barred U.S. airlines and other foreign carriers from flying over its airspace as a thank you message for Washington banning Russian flights over the U.S
U.S. Transportation Department said - This ban is necessary to remove disparity amongst U.S. and Chinese air carriers.
If the US bans Chinese airliners from using Russian airspace, China might retaliate by banning or slowing U.S. exports especially Boeing planes, semiconductor parts, and agricultural goods which they have done recently by going towards Brazil and Argentina. Every trade move has a counter-move when you deal with China.
