USTR Greer Warns EU Over Airbus Loan Threatening Trade Truce
· Business · Reuters, France 24
US Trade Representative Greer has cautioned the European Union that a newly issued loan to Airbus poses a direct threat to the existing trade truce regarding aircraft financing. The warning comes as both economic powers monitor compliance with long-standing agreements governing subsidies for major aviation manufacturers. Officials have not yet announced specific retaliatory tariffs or formal dispute resolution steps in response to the funding. The trans-Atlantic aircraft sector remains sensitive to any perceived financial advantages granted to either Airbus or its American rival Boeing. Further diplomatic discussions are expected as regulators review the terms of the European financing.
