Will the Airbus-Boeing WTO Battle Continue Under New U.S. President?

摘要

The World Trade Organization dispute between Airbus, Boeing, the EU and the U.S. over illegal state subsidies for large commercial aircraft has survived three U.S. presidents, two of whom enjoyed two terms in office. Will it survive a fourth? With Democrat Joe Biden preparing to move into the White House in January, possibly bringing a more conducive and less antagonistic approach to global trade negotiations than his predecessor, expectations are high among aerospace experts that a deal might finally be achieved in the 16-year dispute. That may yet occur, but industry experts also caution against irrational exuberance.
