It's say it's more likely related to a recent sale of arms and planes to Qatar, who are in their bad books https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2019-07-10/qatar-donald-trump...

I assume all those orders are pre-planned though.

IE. Potential customers are asked to announce their orders at the air show for prestige of both the buyer and seller
