EU Extends Airbus-Boeing Trade Truce
The European Union decided to keep tariffs paused on U.S. goods. This avoids a trade war with the United States. The tariffs were first put in place in 2020.
The decision follows a previous agreement made in 2021. These tariffs were related to a long-standing disagreement about government support for airlines. The tariffs covered $4 billion in imports. These included airplanes and spirits. The EU and the United States have been discussing this issue for many years.
