Trump administration seeks to hit EU with tariffs over Airbus subsidies

The Trump administration announced Tuesday that it was moving forward with a plan to seek retaliatory tariffs on European Union goods over the EU’s subsidies for Airbus. President Trump has previously said the U.S. is seeking tariffs on $11 billion worth of products.

The U.S. Trade Representative’s Office said Tuesday it had scheduled public hearings on May 15 and 16 on the proposed countermeasures. It had sought public comments on the matter last month.
