Alabama has been spared from this hurricane - US tariffs on aircraft

The US administration has hit the EU with tariffs:

• US to impose retaliatory tariffs of 10% on EU aircraft, 25% on EU agricultural, industrial goods

The Airbus plant in Alabama has been spared:

• Airbus aircraft built in Europe will be hit with a tariff of 10%
• But semi-finished fuselages and wings are exempt, which will allow large parts shipped to Alabama from plants in Europe to be not be hit by the duties
• Airbus can thus continue to supply US-based airlines with a limited number of locally assembled aircraft.
