Oct. 14 (UPI) -- The United States can impose tariffs on up to $7.5 billion worth of European imports in response to the illegal subsidies received by Airbus, the World Trade Organization ruled Monday.
The ruling was a formality after the WTO arbitration panel confirmed that Airbus had received subsidies from Britain, France, Germany and Spain on Oct. 2. The 156-page decision against Airbus and the EU mentions Boeing 850 times.
