Trump threatens tariffs on EU products over Airbus subsidiesPresident Donald Trump on Tuesday lashed out at the EU, vowing to impose tariffs on billions in imports over subsidies to the aviation giant Airbus, suddenly escalating a transatlantic skirmish that is more than a decade old. Trump had sparked outrage in Europe last year by imposing steep duties on steel and aluminum and threatening new ones on autos. “The World Trade Organization finds that the European Union subsidies to Airbus has adversely impacted the United States, which will now put Tariffs on $11 Billion of EU products!” Trump tweeted.
