Shares in European plane-maker Airbus fell on Thursday after the U.S. government said it would maintain 15 per cent tariffs on the company’s aircraft and 25 per cent tariffs on other European goods.
Airbus shares were down 2.1 per cent at 0705 GMT, making the stock the worst performer on France’s benchmark CAC-40 index.
On Wednesday, the U.S. government said it would maintain the tariffs on Airbus and other European goods despite moves by the European Union to resolve a 16-year-old dispute over aircraft subsidies.
Airbus said it “profoundly regrets” the U.S. decision to keep tariffs in place on its aircraft.
