US, EU Strike Airbus-Boeing Deal To Better Target China

EU, US agreed a long term truce in the 17-year-old Airbus-Boeing dispute Tuesday.

US President Joe Biden and the EU agreed a long term truce in the 17-year-old Airbus-Boeing dispute Tuesday, as they try push past their own disputes and turn their focus to a rising China. Negotiated in marathon talks by EU and US officials, the truce was formalised in Biden's summit with European leaders Charles Michel and Ursula von der Leyen, who hosted him in Brussels. Von der Leyen said the summit had "delivered" as she hailed a "breakthrough" in the long-running feud. "This really opens a new chapter in our relationship because we move from litigation to cooperation on aircraft," she added.
