Boeing Recognizes Tariff Threat, Confident in Positive Outcome
CEO Dennis Muilenburg expresses concern over trade tensions but thinks cooler heads will prevail

Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg expressed concern Sunday over the potential for a disruption of free trade presented by tariffs proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, while applauding his administration for tax cuts and regulatory reform. Speaking in London during a pre-Farnborough Air Show press briefing, Muilenburg stressed Boeing has yet to feel any effects from the trade tensions, but that the aerospace industry as a whole needs free and open trade to continue to thrive.
