I don't think Made in England applies to much of the plane in question, i believe the tarriff is being imposed because a US airplane builder has objected to subsidies being handed to the rival in Canada, though i'm hardly up to speed on the story, so happy to be put right.

As chairman May continues to alienate the President at every opportunity, making her criticism quite clear at the UN, then along with the rest of the betrayal horde doing her best to scupper Brexit by confirming to those in negotiation with us that we are terrified to leave, it would hardly be surprising if the Americans gave us up as a lost cause, which we are, washed their hands of us and looked elsewhere for nations still owning a backbone as allies, can't say as i blame them.

We got, as we always will get, the governments we vote for, i've given up worrying about the coming destruction to be honest, trade deals the bust economy and national bankruptcy when the unpayable debt is called in will be the least of our childrens worries in a generations time.

Embraer - who are a competitor - have now joined in and got their government to go for Bombardier. The joys of protectionism - which is what we're going to get after Brexit....

Don't we already have a fine example of protectionism within the EU in the single market, where Germany does whats best for Germany, well until their leader lost the plot and invited any and all aliens in, and western europe is now changed forever.

Agreed - and look at how democracy is being treated in Catalonia. Shocking scenes.

The law of unintended consequences kicked in.

Briefly - Airbus have taken a 50.1% stake in the Bombardier C series project which will be assembled in the Airbus plant in Mobile Alabama for aircraft sales destined for the USA market.

Boeing didn't see that one coming did they?
