The main hit will be soybeans. China can pull in more from South America. Currently there's a global grain glut so that's a none issue. China has more leverage in a tariff war than the US at this point. The meat on the sandwich is Boeing. They'll get murdered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China has like 10 787 on order is all.... The finishing plant that boeing built in china for the 737 orders in China would take a hit as well as Washington state where the 737 is built. China and Washington voters are not really trump voters and it could almost turn Washington state a red state as washington would destruct under its liberal government it has and the western part of washington could turn Washington Purple and possibly red with a deteriorating I-5 corridor due to boeing's exit from there. US could strike at airbus as the US is the largest market for planes and put a tariff on on all airbus planes if they sell to our enemy. US carriers are the largest airbus customer by far...

Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted March 22, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 22, 2018 The plans are part of a strategy that has taken shape in recent weeks as Beijing seeks to avert tariffs by warning of possible repercussions and offering incentives to the U.S., including better access to China’s markets, especially in the financial sector. Oh the horror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
