WASHINGTON, D.C.—Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02) today released the following statement after Boeing announced signing a $16.6 billion sales agreement with Iran Air:

“This deal is good news for Washington state and will help support the thousands of good-paying jobs in my District that rely on trade and Boeing’s ability to compete in the global marketplace.”

Earlier this year, Larsen voted against H.R. 5711, the No Financing for Iran Act, calling the bill “the first step of this new administration and this Republican Congress to destroy manufacturing and manufacturing jobs in this country.”
