Boeing Corporation having trouble with components?

The Boeing Corporation has run out of fasteners such as bolts and nuts required for 737 MAX airplanes, putting the production of these airliners in jeopardy. The situation was caused by a fire at a key supplier's plant.

However, new supplies had to be paid for at high prices. If the problem arises again and it cannot be solved, the shortage of fasteners could lead to a production line shutdown.

The parts shortage comes amid threats to the aerospace industry from President Donald Trump's unstable tariff policies.
