๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ USTR warns EU Airbus loan may breach the aircraft tariff truce

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said a record European Investment Bank loan to Airbus, awarded this summer, threatens the US-EU deal that pauses duties on certain EU imports
  • ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ That pause rests on a shared commitment to fund large civil aircraft makers on market terms; Greer says the US still has no details of the loan despite repeated requests

FO view: This revives a dormant transatlantic tariff risk just as markets weigh tariff relief with Canada, a mild negative for the euro and European equities rather than a shock, since no duties have been set.

Not investment advice.
