“About one-quarter of the 777’s airframe, measured by value, is being manufactured by companies in Japan, Australia, Singapore or South Korea under a program that already has been worth $2 billion to $3 billion to these suppliers.”

Been that way for awhile.

Yeah. Wonder where they’re getting the materials from?

this is the result of countries telling MFGs if you want to sell your product in our country you need to build some of it in the country. Too bad the USA does not have such a policy.

We cannot because Boeing couldn't sell planes. Just like Jet Engines, most of the parts of Pratt Whitney's engines are made overseas because if they built all of it in the US, they would refuse to buy it.

Airbus has lots of its parts made in the US.
