Trump Threatens Tariffs on $11 Billion of EU Imports in Aircraft Subsidies Dispute
Written by Tim Triplett
The Trump administration is threatening to impose tariffs of up to 100 percent on goods imported from the European Union as early as this summer in a long-running dispute over aircraft subsidies.
A preliminary list of goods that could be affected covers every major product group. Deadline for comments on the list is May 28. Importers of affected goods should accelerate efforts to mitigate the impact of any potential tariff increase, such as working to have their products omitted from the final list or considering alternative sources, reported the Washington law firm of Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg.
