U.S. and European Union (EU) trade representatives have been given four months to make a fresh start in resolving the long-running dispute over alleged illegal subsidies for their respective aerospace industries. Following a March 5 call between U.S. President Joe Biden and EU President Ursula von der Leyen, the two sides agreed to suspend more than $11 billion worth of tariffs on a wide array of products to allow time for fresh talks.
