GE Aerospace is the global leader in designing, manufacturing, and servicing large aircraft engines, along with partner Safran in their CFM joint venture. With its massive global installed base of nearly 70,000 commercial and military engines, GE Aerospace earns most of its profits on recurring service revenue of that equipment, which operates for decades. GE Aerospace is the remaining core business of the company formed in 1892 with historical ties to American inventor Thomas Edison; that company became a storied conglomerate with peak revenue of $130 billion in 2000 until GE spun off its appliance, finance, healthcare, and wind and power businesses between 2016 and 2024.

Earlier this week, Tucker Carlson agreed with a guest on his show who questioned whether Donald Trump's foreign policy overlapped with his family's business ventures.
What Happened: On an episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/06/32750830/hey-its-tucker-carlson-former-fox-anchor-tweets-first-episode-of-new-show-unleashes-fiery-critique-o">which Carlson started</a> on Elon Musk's Twitter, now rebranded as X after parting ways with Fox News, former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan pointed to the Trump Organization's expansion in the Gulf region, which coincided with new U.S. defense and AI deals, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5312419-tucker-carlson-on-trump-organization-middle-east-deals-seems-like-corruption/">reported</a> The Hill.
Trump's family business has signed agreements for: a luxury golf resort in Qatar with Qatari Diar, backed by the country's sovereign wealth fund, real estate developments in Riyadh and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and Trump International Hotel and golf course in Oman, according to the report.
"That stuff kind of worries me," Ryan added, to which Carlson replied, "Well, it seems like corruption, yeah."

</figure>
Why It's Important: The overlap between Trump's public policy and his private business dealings is reviving old concerns about conflicts of interest. The White House previously dismissed these concerns, calling them "ridiculous," the report said.&nbsp;
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt earlier said Trump is following all conflict-of-interest laws, and the Trump Organization maintains that its assets are in a trust and not directly involved with foreign governments.
During Trump's trip to the Middle East, agreements <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45462404/trump-unveils-over-200-billion-worth-of-deals-with-uae-including-major-etihad-airways-commitment">exceeding $200 billion</a> were finalized between the U.S. and the UAE. Notably, Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) and Etihad Airways were part of a $14.5 billion portion of these deals.
The visit also resulted in a landmark $1.2 trillion economic accord with Qatar, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45446924/trump-secures-12-trillion-qatar-deal-as-boeing-ge-land-record-orders">featured a historic $96 billion purchase</a> by Qatar Airways from Boeing and GE Aerospace.
Former Vice President Mike Pence <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45487988/trumps-middle-east-trip-draws-rare-praise-from-mike-pence-as-very-successful-for-us-economy-amid-historic-boeing-deal-thatll-really-support-american-jobs">praised Trump&#8217;s Middle East trip</a> for its positive impact on the U.S. economy, despite previous political disagreements. Meanwhile, economist Peter Schiff warned that Qatar&#8217;s $200 billion deal with Boeing could lead to i<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/05/45427289/peter-schiff-warns-qatars-200-billion-boeing-deal-could-spike-us-inflation-interest-rates-says-treasury-sell-off-may-follow">ncreased U.S. inflation and interest rates</a>, potentially causing a Treasury sell-off.

Here's How Much $1000 Invested In GE Aerospace 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

As geopolitical tensions gel into long-term realities, BlackRock is making battlefield dynamics into an investment theme. The world&#8217;s biggest asset manager introduced on Wednesday the iShares Defense Industrials Active ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IDEF#NASDAQ">IDEF</a>), a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">new actively managed fund</a> designed for those interested in aligning portfolios with the changing shape of global defense and security.
The fund&#8217;s portfolio includes GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>), RTX Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>), and Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) among its top holdings.

IDEF seeks to do more than a traditional defense play. The ETF combines macroeconomic research with alternative sources of data, such as defense revenue exposure and contract flow, to create a responsive portfolio to rapidly changing global trends.
The actively managed ETF is <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250521608228/en/BlackRock-Introduces-Actively-Managed-Defense-ETF-Focused-on-Global-Security-and-Resilience">timed </a>with defense expenditures reaching record levels, $2.7 trillion worldwide in 2024, a 9.4% increase from the previous year and over twice the levels in 2000. Behind the fronts of increasing military budgets is a wider economic realignment: governments are rebalancing national priorities, reshaping supply chains, and sprinting to capture key technologies.
IDEF complements BlackRock&#8217;s growing roster of active and thematic ETFs, such as the iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#BATS">ITA</a>) and iShares Cybersecurity and Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IHAK#NYSE">IHAK</a>). But whereas those are passive index offerings, IDEF adds an active element of judgment and responsiveness, attributes that can be beneficial in a world where uncertainty is on the rise.
At launch, BlackRock isn&#8217;t simply reacting defensively as a trend, it&#8217;s setting defense as a structural corner of the new economy. And as military strategy becomes increasingly interconnected with technology and supply chain security, the company is taking a bet that defense exposure is no longer only for generals or government budgets, it&#8217;s for portfolios as well.

Former Vice President&nbsp;Mike Pence&nbsp;has lauded&nbsp;President Donald Trump&#8216;s Middle East visit for its beneficial effects on the U.S. economy, despite his criticism of the diplomatic aspects of the trip. 
What Happened:&nbsp;&nbsp;Despite a public fallout with Trump over the&nbsp;2020 presidential election certification and the ensuing Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, Pence spoke positively of Trump&#8217;s Middle East trip&#8217;s impact on the American economy during an NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; interview on Sunday. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Exclusive Interview: Mike Pence says he privately warned Trump against tariffs in his first term" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LzCiUDJyYAw?start=524&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Pence described the journey as &#8220;very successful&#8221; for the U.S. economy. &#8220;The&nbsp;president secured financial commitments in&nbsp;all three countries, including a&nbsp;historic contract for purchasing Boeing&nbsp;aircraft that&#8217;ll really support American jobs,&#8221; Pence said.
These comments from the former Indiana governor are noteworthy, given his recent strained relationship with Trump and recent criticisms of the President&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45214328/mike-pence-warns-trumps-indiscriminate-tariffs-could-trigger-price-shock-and-potential-shortages-keeping-our-kids-toys-affordable-is-part-of-the-american-dream">sweeping tariffs</a>.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s Middle East visit, which Pence praises, saw the signing of deals worth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45462404/trump-unveils-over-200-billion-worth-of-deals-with-uae-including-major-etihad-airways-commitment">over $200 billion </a>between the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). A significant part of these deals involved a $14.5 billion commitment from&nbsp;Boeing (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>),&nbsp;GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>), and Etihad Airways. 
Additionally, Trump secured a $1.2 trillion economic agreement with Qatar, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45446924/trump-secures-12-trillion-qatar-deal-as-boeing-ge-land-record-orders">record-breaking</a> $96 billion order from Qatar Airways for Boeing and GE Aerospace.
According to CNN, several Democrats, usually critical of President Trump, praised his decision to lift longstanding sanctions on Syria and engage with its new leader. They saw it as a potential economic boost for Syria and a way to reshape the region. Support came from figures like Leon Panetta, Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), with Himes reluctantly admitting Trump managed much of the Middle East trip effectively. Murphy, however, criticized Trump for accepting the luxury Qatari jet.
On the other hand, economist Peter Schiff warned that Qatar&#8217;s $200 billion deal with Boeing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/travel/25/05/45427289/peter-schiff-warns-qatars-200-billion-boeing-deal-could-spike-us-inflation-interest-rates-says-treasury-sell-off-may-follow">could lead </a>to a surge in U.S. inflation and interest rates. He states that to help finance the purchase, "Qatar will likely sell a lot of Treasuries and other U.S. assets," which would further strain the U.S. bond market, already under pressure.

Trump's Middle East Trip Draws Rare Praise From Mike Pence As 'Very Successful' For US Economy Amid 'Historic' Boeing Deal: 'That'll Really Support American Jobs'

The U.S. and China agreed to de-escalate their trade war by cutting tariffs by 115 percentage points, bringing U.S. duties on Chinese <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45347089/wall-street-rips-higher-as-tariff-truce-halts-us-china-economic-escalation">goods down to 30%.</a>
The announcement sparked a broad-based equity rally, with the S&amp;P 500 climbing back to early March 2025 levels and erasing losses from President Donald Trump's &#8220;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45355655/magnificent-seven-gain-700b-after-us-china-slash-tariffs-gold-crashes-whats-driving-markets-monday">Liberation Day&#8221; tariff shock.</a>
