US-EU trade truce at risk over $3.4 billion Airbus loan, Trump official warns

US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer warned that a $3.4 billion loan from the European Investment Bank to Airbus could threaten the tariff truce between the US and EU. Greer expressed concern over the lack of details regarding the loan, which was intended to support Airbus's research and development. He emphasized that this situation creates uncertainty in transatlantic aerospace trade. The loan, announced in June, is the largest in EIB history and aims to enhance Airbus's capacity for long-term innovation. The US and EU have a long-standing dispute over trade practices, but a truce was established in 2021, with no tariffs reimposed since then.
