U.S. Tariffs on Airbus Jets Increase to 15 percent
Airbus calls on the USTR to suspend the tariffs on European made aircraft the engage in a negotiated settlement.

The U.S. action to increase tariffs on Airbus aircraft from 10 to 15 percent took effect on Wednesday, sending in motion the latest effort by President Donald Trump to punish Europe for what constitutes illegal government subsidies as determined by an October 2019 World Trade Organization ruling. The tariff increase accounts for part of new WTO-sanctioned countermeasures on $7.5 billion worth of European goods imposed in a trade dispute with the European Union, France, Germany, Spain, and the UK.
