Trump’s tariff’s COULD further Hurt Boeing and other American companies….

Airplanes have parts that come from EVERYWHERE….

America Airplanes….

Trump’s tariff /import tax threat’s COULD have Airlines and Military sales deserting America and taking HUNDREDS of Billions with them, and of course,  thousand’s of jobs….

Weak Boeing,  REALLY does NOT need this….

And ?

Trump’s ‘Buy American’ could be turned around to ‘Don’t Buy American’ against the Us Aviation Industry....

 

Boeing is the kind of manufacturer — one that exports billions of dollars of goods — that President Trump says he wants to protect and nurture.

But his tariffs could have the opposite effect on the company’s suppliers.

Mr. Trump has imposed a few tariffs so far, but he says more are coming in just a few weeks. That threat has unnerved the aerospace industry, of which Boeing is one of the largest companies. Duties on aluminum and steel, two of the most important raw materials used in aircraft, are expected to raise manufacturing costs. But the industry is far more concerned by tariffs that take effect on goods from Canada and Mexico next month, which could disrupt the highly integrated North American supply chain.

“These tariffs are particularly fraught for an industry like aerospace that has been duty-free for decades,” said Bruce Hirsh, a trade policy expert at Capitol Counsel, a lobbying firm in Washington, which has aerospace clients. “Parts are coming from everywhere.”

Aerospace experts say the industry is an example of U.S. manufacturing prowess. It offers well-paying jobs and has produced one of the largest trade surpluses of any industry for years. Aerospace is expected to export about $125 billion this year, according to IBISWorld, second only to oil and gas….

…

For Boeing, the tariffs would come at a difficult moment. The company spent the past year recovering from a crisis that started when a panel blew off a Boeing 737 Max jet during a flight in January 2024. There were no casualties, but the incident exposed shortcomings and prompted intense scrutiny from regulators. The company replaced its chief executive and began overhauling its operations.

After months of turmoil, including a nearly two-month strike, Boeing has steadily increased production of the Max, its best-selling jet, and other planes. But the tariffs could hurt the companies that supply it and other aerospace manufacturers. Aluminum makes up about three-fourths of the contents of the Max. Steel accounts for a much smaller but still substantial share….

…

In all, the tariffs could raise costs for the aerospace industry by about $5 billion annually, said Kevin Michaels, a managing director of AeroDynamic Advisory, a consulting firm. A vast majority of that would come from the tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico. And the threat of a trade war would only compound the consequences.

“Not only are the country tariffs bigger, but countries can retaliate,” Mr. Michaels said. “And, boy, is Canada mad.”…

Parts of Boeing’s 787 and 777 jets are built in Canada, which is also home to CAE, a leading manufacturer of flight simulators. Pratt & Whitney makes engines for helicopters and other aircraft in Quebec….

Note…

Let’s face it….

Trump is NOT going to go thru with HUGE tariffs and import taxes...

If he does?

They won’t last like the situation now…

Such moves would wreck the American manufacturing sectors ….

And NOT bring jobs TO America….

It would eventually do the opposite….
