Cheers to that! US agrees to lift tariffs on Scotch whisky
https://aje.io/utqyf7Scotch single malt whisky makers breathed a sigh of relief Thursday after the United States agreed to suspend tariffs on one of Scotland’s main exports following the resolution of a long-standing trade row between the US and the European Union over subsidies to aircraft companies Boeing and Airbus.

Boeing are building tanks, now?
I hope they do a better job than they did with the 737 Max. No amount of Trump protectionism could have stopped that shit-show.

I suspect the actual problem was an overly friendly relationship with the regulator.
Allegedly.

They'll be able to buy the stuff they want to try and copy more cheaply?

The 737 may have. The 737 Max sure as heck doesn't.
