New York Times reports Airbus about to be announcing an A320 assembly plant in Mobile, Alabama.

I'm not quite clear why the French government thinks it has a monopoly on controlling Airbus locations (see article). It's a European-wide company.
Separately, I wonder if major assemblies will be shipped across the Atlantic, such as wings from the Broughton plant, or if they will be manufactured in the US.
