KONTAN.CO.ID - SEATTLE. Boeing Co Chief Executive Dave Calhoun said on Tuesday he does not want the U.S. Treasury to take an equity stake in the planemaker as a condition of government loans as credit markets freeze amid the coronavirus pandemic.

"I don't have a need for an equity stake," Calhoun told Fox Business. "If they force it, we just look at all the other options and we've got plenty of them."

Boeing has sought $60 billion in U.S. government loans for itself and the aerospace industry. Congress could reach agreement on a stimulus and rescue package worth up to $2 trillion to respond to the massive economic damage from the coronavirus pandemic as soon as today.
