S. government is set to announce the certification of Boeing’s 737 Max 10 jet Tuesday after years of delays, a U. S. Transportation Department official told The Associated Press. U. S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy plans to announce the decision on Tuesday afternoon during a visit to Boeing’s manufacturing plant in Everett, Washington, the official said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the certification ahead of the announcement. The 737 Max 10, which can have up to 230 seats, was introduced at the Paris air show in 2017 to help Boeing compete with rival Airbus. But a series of technical and safety-related concerns slowed the certification of the largest version of Boeing’s 737 Max.

Published: October 20, 2026 at 12:09p.m. EDTMILAN -- The production of Italian pasta is under threat as a protest by truck drivers in the south of the country over soaring fuel prices and the cost of living blocks deliveries to factories. There are also growing concerns about food supplies in Rome, as transport bottlenecks hamper deliveries from southern Italy to the capital. Italian agriculture lobby group Confagricoltura warned that producers in Sicily would have to destroy large quantities of perishable products if transportation did not resume. Pasta maker Rummo, based in the Campania region, said on Tuesday it had suspended production after running out of ingredients. Almost all major pasta producers in the neighboring region of Puglia, which together with Campania and Sicily form the heartland of Italy’s pasta production, are facing similar difficulties, CEO Cosimo Rummo told daily la Repubblica. “This means that most of Italy’s pasta production has ground to a halt, or is close to,” he said.
