Bombardier’s Win Adds Pressure on Boeing to Strike Embraer Deal
Delta Air Lines, whose order for 75 Bombardier planes triggered last year’s grievance, said Boeing didn’t make a serious bid of its own
but merely offered to sell it some secondhand Embraer jets.
A United States trade agency on Friday surprisingly rejected calls by Boeing
and the Trump administration to impose duties on Bombardier’s CSeries jet.
The United States International Trade Commission, an independent agency, unanimously rejected the
arguments of America’s largest exporter and the Trump administration in a stunning rebuke.
The two companies have been talking for weeks, but Brazil’s defense minister, Raul Jungmann, has
said a foreign takeover of Embraer, which also produces fighter jets, is out of the question.
