Few products can survive a 292% tariff. 😏

The tariff was implemented on December 20, 2017.
Thirty-six days later, on January 26, 2018, the tariff was overturned. The article says little more, other than the supposition that Boeing antagonized Delta. If a $6bln+ 8-years-long programme can be "killed" by a month long tariff dispute which didn't affect the sales or deliveries, whose fault is it?
