Proclamation: Adjusting Imports of Commercial Aircraft, Jet Engines, and Aircraft and Engine Parts into the United States
Summary
The President has determined that imports of commercial aircraft, jet engines, and their associated parts threaten national security under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. Rather than imposing immediate tariffs, the President directs the Secretary of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to pursue negotiations with foreign trading partners to adjust imports, with a progress report due in 180 days, while reserving the right to consider alternative remedies (including tariffs) depending on the outcome.
