domestic engine will probably be use on domestic routes and act as backup in case the west block engine sale
for overseas route is less likely as airport needs to set up additional maintenance facility for different engine which add to cost

if cj1000 price tags/performance ratio is good it is worth setting up another facility with oversea customers.

With Trump in power, US may ban leap engines export to China. This will definitely stop the production of C919.

Not if the manufacturer has already delivered hundreds of engines and replacement parts to COMAC. I am sure the manufacturer and COMAC have foreseen the trouble if US will to impose ban on Leap engine, they would pre-empt any move from White House.

The manufacturer would lost more than COMAC's delay costs if they cannot recover their investment on Leap 1-C engine, i.e. Tooling cost and R&D Cost. They would try to deliver as many engine as fast as possible before the expected ban.
