The Trump administration is investigating whether the import of aircraft, jet engines, and their parts constitutes a national security threat. This move may pave the way for new tariffs on the commercial aviation industry. According to a notice released by the U.S. Department of Commerce on Friday, the investigation was launched on May 1 and includes commercial aircraft, jet engines, and related parts. The Department of Commerce has not yet responded to requests for comment on this matter. The latest investigation is another challenge to the global aviation industry landscape in the past 50 years, highlighting the increasing risk of Boeing and Airbus being involved in a trade war. Representatives from both companies have not yet responded to requests for comment.
