I wonder how the EU would like it if we told every country,
"Buy Boeing aircraft or face American tariffs"?
That's what we should do. Free market my ass. Can't wait until the first A-380 falls apart in the air. Remember the first A-300. The French managed to crash it into a forest on one of its demonstration flights near a Paris airport.
But the tariffs are already there. Buying the planes gives them an opportunity to get the tariffs lifted. Sounds fair to me. According to this article the U.S. has even higher tariffs on the prawns and gives them no opportunity to get them lifted.
That was an A-320.
