While aerospace manufacturers around the world struggle to understand and respond to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and the prospect of an escalating trade war, Chinese eVTOL aircraft manufacturer EHang said it does not expect significant impacts on its operations despite sinking stock prices.

“Recent tariff measures announced by both [U.S. and Chinese] governments are not expected to have any material impact on EHang’s operations,” the company said in a statement issued April 4, two days after Trump announced sweeping global tariffs on what he dubbed “Liberation Day.” By April 9, the Trump administration had bumped China’s tariff rate up to 145%, while reducing tariffs on all other countries to a base rate of 10% for a 90-day period to allow time for negotiations.
